Head out view when changing ends.

Ive been exploring the free roam scenarios while I get used to RW3 after a long while away from train sims and can manage to change ends in twin cabbed locos such as the C37. However when I change ends and then use head out, the view is from the end where I started. How can I make it so that changing ends changes the head out view to the appropriate end also?

You can move views with the arrow keys.

As far as I'm aware, the head out view is tied to the drivers head.....so it will always default to the cab where the driver is, though as Stefan points out you can use the arrow keys to quickly switch ends.

I get the same thing,
I tried it with the cl 37, 47 and cl 55 all the same,
It's like the headout view doesn't change ends with the cabview.

Yep, that's how they are.

Some locos have it set up so that the right hand side head out view is at the back of the locomotive, so that when you go the other way you can use this one as the front on the left hand side.

Yep, you're right,
I fired up my RW 2 install and looks like it's always been that way.
