    Hi all,

    I was just quick driving this . . . .

    [​IMG]

    . . and noticed I was unable to switch on the head lights.

    Is this simply a TSC imperfection, or . . . ?

    Is it just in quick drive it doesn't work?
    If it is a DTG product then lights should be operated just by pressing H. There might be a manual in the Railworks\Manual folder.
    Make sure you have enabled Headlight Flare in game settings.

    I tested it tonight. Switching ON with mouse is still no go.

    But switching ON with the H-key works fine.

    But I seem unable to switch them off again.

    Look at the F4 HUD and try the Bulb button - that normally switches the lights on and off.

    Nope, that is what I normally use. No go in this case.

    Does it work for you ?

    Try using the light selector in the cab. Some units that have more complex lighting configurations don’t have the lights synced to the F4 hud.

    Just tried that John. Seems to work intermittent. Not always. . . . . well that is what I thought initially, but some more testting did not confirm that. Thanks for your help !

    Thansk Mfeets. Great tip. Turns out there are three switches. I can even do the step light and number lights. Very nice !
