As we know coupling is a big feature for any trains simulator, so i propose to make a tutorial regarding this feature. My suggestion is put this feature tutorial in openbve main website under the basic controls section or both in developer documentation page.

Below is what i gathered about how to use this feature.

As far as i know this is how we do the uncoupling:
Let say the train have 4 cars.

  1. Press F2 to change to exterior mode.
  2. Player camera now anchored on the 1st car.
  3. Player can choose to move to other car by pressing numpad 7 or numpad 1.
  4. Player pressed numpad 1 few times to anchor the camera to the 3rd car.
  5. Player wants to uncouple the last car.
  6. Player presses the corresponding key to uncouple, CTRL + ; for rear, SHIFT + CTRL + ; for front.
  7. The last car separated.

For coupling:
Just move the train closer to the uncoupled car.

This suggestion meant to be a draft, the real how to do it must have more readable explanation than this.

It's on a list of things to do, but you've got the basic idea.
Coupling wise, it's just a case of driving into the loose cars (IIRC below 5km/h)

Unfortunately though. it's only realy a tech-demo at the minute. There's still a lot of stuff that needs to be added to be able to do anything useful.
