Just trying out Ver 1.0 here, and kudos to the teams hard work. One thing I've noticed though is when running 2 SW's - lead engine forward, trailing reversed - is when I hit HOME to get a Head Out view from the lead engine, I'm actually looking out from the cab of the reversed rear SW. Thought I should point that out here, and see if it's just the SW's I'm using and/or if anyone has a fix for this?

These were Paul Charlands SW's used on his DAR route. Is there a fix for his ENG files then to avoid the ALT+PgUp method. Or they are what they are, and that's why the method exists. Good to know it doesn't happen with all motive power at least.Comment

No it happens with others, most recently I encountered it with an SLI Greenriver eng > DRGW_SD45_5329. I have not taken the time to see what is causing this. I have noticed it for quite a while...alt+page up/down just was easy to do....to lazy to investigate.Cheers, Gerry

Paul Charland released 3 SW sets. I tried the CN set and could not reproduce what you describe. Which set and what road numbers did you use?CharlesComment

I hate to say this, but the correct answer is a real face palm. Say you have a train with an engine with a cab view at each end of the train. If you start OR and then put the train in reverse, and then hit HOME for view out the engineer's window; it will give you a view out the engineer's window of the engine at the other end of the train. On the other hand, if you were going forward when you hit HOME for the first time; then you would get the view you are expecting, out the window of the engine that you are in.
In other words, when you hit HOME for the first time in an OR session it gives you the engineer's head out view of the leading engine which has a cab view. It could be at the other end of the train, if you're moving in that direction. Or, the activity may begin with you nosing up to a standing train to give it a push. If you haven't hit HOME yet in that session, and if the lead engine of the train you are pushing has a cab view, then that's where the head out view will be. Think of it as an alternate method of cab switching on the fly.
