Adding Cabin Lights??

Post by wad53 »

Is there any way to add cabin lights to some of the trains that don't have them, or maybe a user mod available?
eg. Trying to complete these night time scenarios in a Class 390 is extremely difficult if trying to use the cabin view only. Even with the F4 HUD, you are just staring at a mostly black screen and hoping not to do anything stupid.
I quite like the atmospheric effects of scenery lighting at night, but with a non lit train, it loses a lot.

I think the 390 has cab lights but the Instrument lights will help you see the speedo and brakes.

Thanks, but I can't find anyway to get cabin lights in the 390. I've searched the whole cabin for a click spot, tried the L key, and can't find any reference in the Manual. It doesn't seem to be included in the model. To make matters worse, most of the clickspots in the 390 cabin don't show up when hovering the mouse either, but when you right click them, they work. So, fumbling around with the mouse doesn't help.
I guess I just have to rely on the F4 HUD for this one at night. :cry:

Here is a screenshot from the 390 commencing the WCML North Scenario titled "Motherwell Trials". This is with the headlights on too (which doesn't light up the track in front :roll: ).

Hello Warren,

I can't remember whether the 390 has cabin lights by default, but there is a fix in the ukts library to add them (http://www.uktrainsim.com/filelib-info. ... leid=31328 ). It does require some fiddling to get it to work (instructions included).
