Flipping locomotives in Open Rails (Explorer Mode)

[aditya123]

Is it possible to flip or rotate a locomotive by 180 degress in OR in explore route mode? Is there any keyboard shortcut for the same?

Once in the sim, the only way possible is just like in the real world. Turn on a wye, turntable, or operate long hood forward/tender first. Or switch cabs in a double ended loco.

ORTS does not replicate fantasy maneuvers like a cheat key to quickly turn loco orientation in a consist when in the sim.

You can change the orientation of a loco in the consist before entering the sim using any consist editor

Be aware that when you turn a locomotive in game that the F5 information will also be reversed.
The gradient displays will be backwards. While it may look like you're climbing a 1.3% grade you are actually going downhill.
Also the G/ShiftG switch controls are reversed and the camera controls are messed up from the engineers perspective.
If you flip a unit in a consist maker the controls are correct.
