Points query

Can you change the points in this sim?

Yes...When in front of a point press G when you want to change a point from behind hold shift then G. Or click a point leaver.

Thanks for the reply.

I don't know if it's me or not, but I used to be able to change points - either with 'G' / 'Shift+G' or by clicking and dragging the lever - but since I installed the patch not one point has shifted for me ! What am I doing wrong, or not doing ?

After selecting a loco, you can also set a path to a destination/siding in the 2D map by holding shift and left clicking on the blue circles that indicate points. I obviously found this in the in-depth manual section for the 2D map (about 25 words) and not accidentally by browsing various trainsim forums at this time of the morning, in the belief that there had to be a better way than frantically stabbing at the G/Shift G keys or attempting to click on levers as your train was on the move in a yard.

Obviously it cannot be ruled out that this is described in detail somewhere and I completely missed it.
