SW1500 Switcher add-on

Unread postby RedRiverTransfer » Sun May 22, 2011 9:05 pm

i Bought the download a while back. I was able to use the switchers for a week give or take.
Then one day I tried to run them and all I could do is move forward. No reverse at all. I deleted the engines , replaced them, same thing.
I deleted the game, reinstalled ,still only one direction. I removed the folder using the package manager and the game reinstalled it. again it will only move the engines forward. tried end to end a few together, no luck at all .. well i did try.
Any ideals ?

Do you Run in simple control mode?
I think this is a bug of simple control mode.

Try to change your controls to expert.

Glad it works now and yes, it's an odd bug.

I recommend you stay with expert control mode. It's much more realistic.
I used to drive in simple mode until last year, then changed and I cannot imagine to run in simple anymore.

Not surprising. Seems like, even tho all the levers and switches in the cab should work (yeah, wishful thinking) most of them don't. I don't drive in the cab anyways, unless I'm forced to in a tunnel, so I just use the keyboard.
