Having created a new profile to start to do the mastery awards, I'm running services with the Class 45. I arrive at Huddersfield and decide to place the various posters. Jump out of the cab and upon returning can't get the 'climb steps' icon to get back in. See video for my attempts. Thankfully it resolved after a save and reload.
It doesn't help at all with your problem but I didn't know the driver's seat back could be tilted forward until I saw your video. Useful if you've got a long load through the tailgate I suppose. Although it wouldn't have been much use I wonder if it would have let you get into the other cab.
Haha very true, perfect for when you've got to get those planks in! As for No. 2 end I've often wished we could get through the engine room,if only to get the full sulzer/EE sound experience!
