    multiple consists one explore session

    Hello,
    I was just curious as to if there's a way to spawn multiple consists into an explore session and jump between them.
    thanks,
    Zach

    There is timetable mode, which is pretty cool -- but coupling and uncoupling does not work, so no switching out cars. But you can have multiple consists and I believe you can switch between them.

      In explore mode the player consist is the only consist available, no other consists available [as in MSTS]...for solo exploration of routes.

        I think there maybe a way . . .
        Place static consists around the route. Be sure they have a driveable engine attached.

        Then you can stop your train and jump to the static. The the in game F1 Help Panel has the key press code to do this.
        Enjoy!

            Sorry but I posted incorrect info. Jumping to another train only works in Activity Mode.

            Obviously I was wrong when I said place you could jump to a parked train, a 'loose consist' when you cannot place loose consists for an explore mode running session.

              No Worries Vince,
              So if i created a simple activity with my consists and didn't add any instructions or requirements, would that perhaps do what im looking for or is that not possible in activity editor?
              Thanks,
              Zach
