Changing Driver ends in activity

[xcrosswitch]

Hi Everyone,
I am getting back into MSTS after 6years plus and having fun. I can see people rolling their eyes on this topic. Is it possible to change driver ends after activating a reverse point? I am using an XPT consist with a cab at each end in the Australian Northwest route.
I found an old thread from 1999 from dear old Ottodad (rest his soul) who mentioned the subject, so I'm wondering if it was made possible over these past years, maybe in OpenRails even.

Thanks for any advice and sorry if it's a lame question.

Cheers Rob Kenning

Thanks Derek. I haven't got round to installing Open rails yet. Something to suss out down the track. At the moment I have made a part a and b activity to carry on. Thanks Rob

Hi Rob,
As far as I understand it, the XPT is similar to the UK HST where there is a power car at each end of the train. As long as each power car has a cabview, to swap to the 'other end', press the 'F9' key to bring up the Train Operations window. Scroll across to the end of the train and left-click the last vehicle to highlight it, then press the '1' key. You should now be in the other cab. To do this, the train must be stationary, brakes on and throttle at zero.

Cheers,
Ged
