East Metro reversing cab view

[LionelDave]

I'm new to Open Rails and like it very much. My problem is that I just bought Rich Garrber's "East Metro" route and am running the training activity.

In this a activity I stop the train and I am suppose to press the "1" key to reverse my cab view. (It's a 44 tonner).

When I do nothing happens.

I know you are suppose to have bin installed which I do. This same activity works correctly in MSTS so I'm wondering what I'm donig wrong.

If I'm not posting this right please let me know.

Thanks for any help you can give me

Try <Control + E>.

You don't need BIN as that is for MSTS only. The naysayers will pop up, but OR doesn't use anything of MSTS other than content. BIN affects the MSTS game engine

Dave, if you press F1 when in-game a menu will pop-up which lists all the keyboard commands.
(Pressing F1 again closes the pop-up.)
I'm sure that the command you are requiring is in that list; I don't have OR open at the moment to confirm same.

Note that you can pause the activity by pressing Esc first so that you can browse the list at your leisure.

Hope this is of assistance.

Does Open Rails recognize the MSTS Bin lighting setups, such as Unit 5 and Unit 4 for reverse lights ?

[apco25]

Yes OR does everything BIN tried to do and then some....have fun with it.

Well I don't think it does. Unless it has been enabled in one of the latest updates.
Do you get tail lights on cars ? What when you reverse the cab, do all the lights work for the reverse direction ?

BIN does do it if light programing correct.

Hi rosssweet,

Yes, mate I've just tested it with two (UK) locos and it works exactly the same as MSTS with the Bin patch, except that the lights are "brighter". This test was with release X2673.
