Night Time operation.

Does anyone know when they are going to fix the headlights on diesel locomotives so they actaully work and illuminate. For activities like "BOTTOM OF THE FOOD CHAIN" I can barely see where I'm going in the yard the headlights don't do anything and turn off on Bright setting. The cab is way too dark with no cab lights or gauge lights that should work. When are they going to fix this so I can play at night?

This topic has been hashed and rehashed numerous times in these forums. Try searching the forums. Personally, I have no problem playing the night-time scenarios, although more illumination would be nice. Working loco lights have been achieved in Trainz, but they are not realistic either, since a single headlight lights up way too much of the night and causes a ridiculous effect when a train is exiting a tunnel portal.

"They" have just provided a major upgrade to RW and probably have this lighting issue on the to-do list, but if you read some of the previous posts on this topic, you'll begin to comprehend the problem. There are some solutions available for certain engines, but they require some heavy-duty editing work.
