BCH Switching train orientation User intent – user doesn’t care about end point and wants to start at a specific point but wants to change the default orientation of the train user moves mouse cursor over the start point Question: Is this the only way for them to get the “Flip train orientation” menu item to show up?

BCH Train orientation flipped Visual indicator is flipped and user can now run in the desired direction Note in the slide the altered consist orientation may give the impression that I am lined up to a specific rail line is this a huge concern? Do we need to support all angles of flipping. Do we need a more visual approach i.e. pop dialog showing a vector version of the consist? Comment: Track can be in any orientation. So the direction arrow must be able to rotate to arbitrary angles. Edge Case: You happen to set the start point to an intersection of tracks. I would prefer to see the simplest possible approach taken here.
