Headlight Direction.

[ThomasTelford]

Hi Folks.

I wonder if anyone here would possibly help me?When i am driving a Class 47 Locomotive that i believe came with the DorsetCoast Route (It's the large logo liveried one No' 47 847) and i switch ends how do i change the direction of the headlights or is this still not possible to do without more file changes?

Any help would be greatfully recieved~Regards Thomas Telford.

Hi Thomas,
Is the loco MSTSBin compliant?

If so have you tried switching the lights on again after changing ends?

I use Bin 1.8 and have to this to re-activate lights.

That would be the simple solution. If not someone with knowledge of lighting files will take over I'm sure.

Hope this helps. Let us know.

Hi
If you mean the sphere, then it should be automatic under then bin patch.

If you mean just the headlight then look in the engine file for the headlight and copy it and add it to the lights list.
Increase the total by 1.
