All I do in TS2017 is free roam and I thought this would be the same, but no. All this having to get out and switch points is soul destroying. And some points you can't even alter. Are they going to alter that? And give us a map we can just switch points from. I want to drive trains, not walk about. I bought but only played it for 40 mins. The eastern section of the line, traditionally part of the famed and popular Western Maryland Railway, passes through rolling and classic 'Pennsylvania Dutch' farmlands, while the western portion of the route is dominated by the crossing of the Blue Ridge Mountains (also known as South Mountain), and features grades of up to 2 percent, Jack’s Mountain Tunnel, and two horseshoe curves!

First of all Happy New Year to all.
Now, the issue is, I simply cannot select a train in free roam (just installed Railworks but I'm already familiar with it). I read a thread of a guy with the same issue but couldn't find a solution. Maybe this is something painstakingly obvious but apparently all you have to do is click on a train and you become the driver. I can't click, though. When I load any free roam scenario, I am put into a location from which I cannot move, I have no menu and no buttons (don't know if this is normal). Sometimes there are visible trains, other times there aren't. No matter how much I click on a train, it doesn't do anything, and I am stuck with no buttons and the game refuses to do anything. I have clicked every button on the keyboard - the only thing that works is '9' which opens the map. The map works fine and the switches change completely fine. All other scenarios work fine
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you!!
