Now I've got MSTS from the moment it came out and just discovered something I was not aware of;If you're on a switching yard press the 7 key and you'll see your train from a birds-eye view, also you can zoom in with the ctrl and the arrow keys up and down as well as going any direction. In fact you can explore the whole switching yard! Now if you press that 7 key in combination with the F7 key finding your consist is a breeze!
Especially if you're just used to work with the F7 key and if it's a busy yard all clustered with names and wagon numbers!So this is for all of you who didn't know.

Best regards,
Richard.

RE: Okay......

I think most people are aware of it, but it is good to remind new people on here. We always forget there are newbies coming on all the time. I don't use it now, as I prefer the side view, but many may find it useful.David
