Rollercoasters...in trainz!!!

I have a problem in surveyor. Here's the story: I make rollercoasters. I make a high plateu, put track on it, make a bridge going down like the big drop at the beginning of a rollercoaster, put a train at top with three empty coal cars behind it, create the rest of it, and start it up. I simply derail the three coal cars from the engine, the coal cars start to roll down the hill, I, just before they get off screen, click on them, and I see the rollercoaster from the cars' view. The problem is that sometimes, not all the time, but sometimes, when the cars enter a tunnel, I only can see the view from the rear end of the cars so that it seems like I am rolling backwards. Does anyone know how I can prevent that from happening? If you havent a clue, try building one of your own rollercoasters and see. (Making rollercoasters is fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun!!!) Try it and see if you can help me. Thank you very much for your help.

I think the switch-to-inside-the-tunnel-view is something built into trainz and is automatic. I don't like it either but have never been able to prevent it.

Hi
what's probably happening is that you are sometimes placing the wagons backwards, go by the red and green arrows in Surveyor.
the 'view in tunnel' is dependent on rolling stock direction.

hope this helps

I also tried switching the arrows many times and no matter what, I could not get it to work that way.:(
 
You might be suffering from a stroboscopic effect in the tunnels, the same thing that makes the stagecoach wheels appear to be going round backwards in westerns.
