Dashcam
v1.0.0First-person cab view of any vehicle: trains, trucks, excavators, ships and the fleet, with a live dashboard. NEW: train track audio for crossings, switches and curves.
First-person view from the cab of any vehicle.
🚚 Ride any vehicle
Open a locomotive, truck, excavator, tree harvester or planter, rocket transporter, cargo ship or the traveling fleet and click the camera button in its panel. The view drops into the cab and rides with the vehicle, tilting with the terrain and swinging with an excavator's cab. Engine and ambient sound follow you inside.
📊 Live dashboard
A dashboard in the corner shows the vehicle's status and destination (with your own building and station names), a speedometer, fuel, maintenance, an odometer and a color-coded payload bar. Each vehicle type adds its own rows: trucks their cargo, excavators their mining priority and shovel, tree harvesters the truck they are loading, planters their saplings, rocket transporters the rocket on board. Trains add throttle and brakes, the track speed limit, total and cargo weight, length, and a bar for every wagon with what it carries. Ships show cargo modules, fuel and, for the fleet, hull and crew. A button on the dashboard mutes the engines, or the whole vehicle, without affecting any other vehicle.
🔊 NEW: Train track audio for level crossings, switches and curves
Riding a train, you hear the track itself: level crossings, switches, the start and end of every curve, rail joints on straight track, and the occasional wheel squeal in tight curves, each from behind you as the cars pass over it. Volume, joint spacing and more can be adjusted in the mod settings or switched off.
🎮 Controls
- Camera button in the vehicle panel: enter the cab
- Click it again, or press Esc: return to the normal camera
⚙️ Settings
Every stock vehicle, including the Trains DLC locomotives, has a tuned seat position; the positions live in offsets.json in the mod folder if you want to adjust them. The track audio settings are in the game's mod settings (config.json).
✅ Compatibility
- Captain of Industry 0.8.7 to 0.8.7d; Trains DLC supported, not required
- UI-only: the camera never changes the simulation and is safe to add to or remove from an existing save
- The hub's code analysis flags Harmony and reflection: Dashcam uses them only to add its button to the vehicle panels
