Western Pacific GP20 High Hood can't look backward in the cab?

In the WP GP20ADV, I don't know how to turn the view in the opposite direction, as to where you can run the unit long hood forward. The Canyon Works Part 2 scenario requires you to run the unit this way, but I can't turn around and look out of the windows in either one of the seats. I can pan to either side left or right, just not all the way around. I have taken a look at the manual and it mentions nothing about this, but shows a photo where the view is like what I am describing (see photo).

I believe this has been discussed before, I suggest searching the forums.
Also you can fix this problem and learn a thing or two, with the help of
this tutorial on our web site.

Looks about right. Found a file that fixes it just in case someone else runs across this thread.

The "Control Stand A" has a rear view and the "Control Stand B" has a forward view. Not being able to turn 360 degrees probably saves confusion of which Control Stand is operating the locomotive

See page 21of the Operator's Manual -- in case you're still puzzled, look at the final instruction at the bottom of the page: "
SWITCHING CONTROL STAND".
