Headlights

[bprice]

Has anyone had any experience with BLW locomotives in OR?

My issue concerns the headlights.

The lower light (dim) lights but there is no light on high. The models use an oscillating headlight. Not only is the light not visible, there is no lighting of the terrain.

If I put the locomotive in emergency, the light on the unit is visible in red and a cone of light appears but it is white as you would expect from the high beam.

The manual indicates some issues with comment lines in the ENG file but removing them does not work.

The specific unit I am working with is the ATSF Alco PA. I have seen similar issues with the ATSF F3 set and the F7 set.

I have noticed a similar issue with 3D trains F units and PA's

Any input is appreciated.

Thanks

The problem is with the Penalty(X) line, where x is an integer. Removing these lines will make it work. The latest experimental version fixes this. 3DTrains and GMO Simulations also use that line. There is a thread I started over at Elvas tower about it.

Yeah, any light with 'penalty' defined will not work correctly - apparently no-one spotted this being broken for quite a while. It's fixed now and the next experimental release will work.

Thanks. New update seems to have solved the issue.
