Locomotive with lighting on the headlights !

Post by kvarndalen »

Hello
I loaded home a French locomotive, which I always liked :)
So I put it into a route, to test and .... :P
There was light from the headlights, incredibly beautiful.
Saw it the first time when I was driving through a tunnel.
I changed the time on the scenario to 22.00 (10 PM) at night, this was what was visible. The light is visible even from the cab!

The second picture is the headlights off

Hi,
This carries on nicely from the "Let there be lights" thread a few weeks ago.

You will find that there are Chinese, US, Swiss locos with night lighting effects and now French.

This is a work around that's been about for a while, it's set up much like the headlight glow on a locomotive is.

Problem is it only illuminates what it covers, which is the ground. Any objects close by are essentially cut through by the plane the lit area sits on.

It's better than nothing, granted.

After reading this thread I decided to download and have a look at this Loco and what is not mention is that apart from being an excellently modelled Electric Loco with very realistic sounds, the Modeller has cleverly incorporated a realistic Cab 'Lean' when taking any curves in the track which adds a great deal to the driving experience.

Thank to the Modeller - Patrick (plm3).

Hi could you give a link to the website & file where I can download this loco.
I don't think anyone has mentioned it already.
