The headlights don't appear to work on the above locos (Alaska RR and Canadian Mountain Passes routes) despite using the cab switch (where possible) and/or the H key. When looking at the locos the lights come on, but no beam cast in front of the train. Anyone else having this issue? (I know... probably just me ) . I recently verified my game files in order to get the controls working on the BNSF ES44 on Tehachapi so hopefully everything "should" be in order..
SD70 ARR has a strange but working light cone in first (Dim) Position and none in Bright mode. CP ES44AC works fine for me. Very bright.
Yes. It is needed for some rolling stock, I found that turning it off kills the lights completely on some locos that draw a bitmap on the lamps.
Having said that, the Montana Hi-Line ES44DC has also a problem, while the light beam is OK the lamps seem to be lit only if you are far away from the loco. Jeeez the closer I look at things the more bugs I find... Update: Must be route specific. On HiLine running the same loco (which was first released with Stevens Pass btw) there's no issues.
I have received the solution from Kevin (Searchlight Simulations) over on Railwroks America forums. Excellent! Go into the ROUTE EDITOR (build - Alaska (in this case) - Edit) make sure that the MLW audios are enabled) then save.
.. Err.. yes. To my shame and too late have i realised that I did not mention that in my first post. FWIW I've edited the thread title again. This is why I'm not a real locomotive engineer!
No problem. I know there's lots of enhancement packs, but at first I try solving stuff on vanilla level.
