'F' key to flip train does not work

Fixed Trains UI & UX

Per title, when using the 'F' key to flip a locomotive in a depot, it doesn't work. All keybindings are default.

Also, perhaps worth noting, is that the flip hotkey/option appears on all train cars, regardless of whether their model is asymmetric or not.

seems like they removed the "flip" command in the latest hotfix. Guess this becomes a feature request now?

Well you can still do them but with the trains facing the same way

I dont believe there is a penalty if you do that

beric01 [discord] · 1 year ago

My understanding was there is a reverse penalty which is why I was wondering

🤔 I have a train that's doubleheaded,
but the back locomotive is the wrong way around & yet,
it is capable of runing at the full speed in both directions 🤔.

It's both rendering in the UI & in the world the same way,
but i like I mentioned the same way as the one in the front.

In the real world, locomotives don’t care which direction they face in terms of power and speed. Crew comfort and visibility, on the other hand, can be heavily impacted by direction of travel.

The penalty is for pushing cars rather than pulling them.

Yeah that makes sense & I got confused with the wording for a moment there,
I have a double-headed train with both of them pointing in the same direction.

So I guess everything is just fine / as expected.

Two locomotives on the same end of the train will see a penalty when pushing the train (backing up). One on each end should not see a directional penalty.

I would like to be able to point locomotives in either direction for visual purposes.

We had to temporarily remove this due to issues with tenders, we will add it once we are done with other issues.
