Title: Possible Track Switching
Post by: Shawn1995 on March 29, 2011, 09:46:40 pm: Is there any possible way to switch tracks on openBve?

A simple way to change your route path is to use BRR: BVE Route Randomizer. Emphasis on the "Randomizer" part, because you may not always get the expected result(you may end up going uptown on a downtown track).

It will depend if your route is coded to switching, since OpenBVE goes in a straight line ( unless if you use @curve or @turn [I'm a RW route maker] )

Unfortunetly no. It doesn't work like that. You get random results each time you do the route

Trainz has it but you click the switch.
