    Hey guys! This is my first time posting in the Train Sim Community, and I've looked all over to see if anyone else had this issue with the reverser not working when I click on it, also when i press Shift + R and nothing would happen, so i was wondering if anyone can help me on this.

    I remember that it was possible to insert and remove the reverser handle, a very detailed function. Why was this removed?

    One of DTG's updates broke that feature and in order to make the loco drivable again a patch had to be added in which the reverser inserted by default.

    Yes, I know, but I believe it was possible to fix it without removing this feature. I'm looking for Patch V1.1.0.8, that's where the problem occurred, at the moment I didn't find it.

    Sorry to bump but just found this after buying the loco in the sale and refunding (so as not to miss the two hour window) after being unable to get it moving. Why on earth have Searchlight not submitted the updated version to DTG to upload on Steam? It shouldn't be necessary to go ferreting around for patches after buying what, at full price, is still a very expensive DLC.

    You assume that Searchlight HAVE not submitted a patch.
    DTG can take a long time in releasing a patch.

    You could contact Searchlight and ask them why.

    Good point! We know from TSW how laid back they are with receiving patches then sitting on them so TSC content probably gets even less priority. Maybe I will just bite the bullet and try again.
