[1.1.33] Cannot connect or disconnect trains while riding Spidertron

[wobbycarly]

What did you do?
Got close to a train that needed to be disconnected and tried to disconnect it. (Also tried to connect trains that weren't connected.)

What happened?
It didn't disconnect. Got a message: "Cannot disconnect rolling stock: not in rolling stock". Got out of Spidey, disconnected, got back into Spidey, tried to connect, and it wouldn't connect, either.

What did you expect to happen instead? It might be obvious to you, but do it anyway!
I thought I'd be able to connect and disconnect trains from within Spidertron.

The message says not in rolling stock, so I guess you have to be in it.

Yes, the action is related to the train you're currently driving. It has nothing to do with the train you have under the cursor.

If you are driving no vehicle at all it does depend on the train you have under your cursor. The game doesn't seem to be able to tell the difference whether you are currently driving a train or some different type of vehicle.

And this second point is what confused me. I rarely connect/disconnect and even less often am I in the train (can't even remember doing it in a train). Happy for it to be NaB, but it's still somewhat misleading, IMO.
