Thank you guys, it does mean alot to me and makes the effort put into the project well worth it.Hi Mike, I've just quickly checked the simple loco blueprints and script (not had time to test it as I'm about to go to bedmichaelhendle wrote: I found the switcher easy to use,I have to use simple control due to memory problems,just one question when I try to change the headlamps,it just changes from one lamp at boiler top and one lamp on the left-hand buffer beam to a single lamp in the middle of the buffer beam,I tried pressing the H key.I'm running light loco

), and the controls and scripting for the lamps should be exactly the same for both simple and advanced modes. Depending on whether you have the headlamps control set to 1 (lamps on loco/forwards) or 2 (lamps on tender/reverse), the 4 lamps for normal and western locos should be:[8] - Top
[1] - Left
[2] - Middle
[3] - Right
And for southern locos with discs:
[4] - smokebox left
[6] - smokebox right.
The reason for the seemingly illogical order of numbers is because I find it easier to remember the key for each lamp by picturing the front of a steam loco on my numpad, where the numbers are positioned on the numpad in the position the corresponding lamp would be on the loco. 1, 2 and 3 would be the 3 lamp positions above the bufferbeam, and 8 would be the centre-top position. 4 and 6 are then the left and right positions on the smokebox "face", below the top lamp position on 8, but above the lower lamp positions on 1, 2 and 3. Maybe I'm just weird, but it's a system that works well for me.
For the LNER K4, I have opted to set it up in the style of Victory Works locos by having Stop Go, Simple and Advanced all on the same loco with a button press to switch it mid-scenario, which will make integrating all the features for all drive modes much easier for us devs and for the end user.
Kind regards,
Chris
