    Clinchfield, Nora Turn Part 8 (but this has happened before)
    First thing I need to do is uncouple 33 coal cars from my 46-car consist.
    Whether I walk to the location or use the exterior camera, it's pitch black and I can't see the thing I need to click. I'm old and my aiming with the XBox controller is not good even in broad daylight.
    Anyway, my question is this: if I was the train driver and I needed to uncouple some cars at 4am, wouldn't I carry a flashlight or a torch or something? Is there a button to simulate that?

    Thanks!

    Clinchfield is notorously dark at night.



    There's a button to turn on your flashlight if you're on foot. One of the d-pad buttons i think, but the pause screen can tell you for sure.

    On keyboard press L for the torch. Clinchfield is indeed to dark. I commented on that long before, but DTG never did much to fix the issues for Clinchfield.

    Yeah when I completed all the Clinchfield services (except one, which was bugged), I didn't enjoy the nighttime ones...

    The L key is indeed a superb key to press when in the dark as I found out when I was engaging in TSC adventures for the first time (It turns on the cab light and still does in TSW when in driver's seat)! In TSW when on foot and using a controller on consoles (don't know about PC but assume its the same) d-pad left also activates the torch (or was it d-pad right...one or the other)
