Ditch Lights Flashing.....

[RodSMFunk]

Hey Guys..

New To The Forum But Not To Trains. Long Story Short...Use To Live On Eola Rd....Step Outside Of My House...All The Tracks Were Less Then 20 Feet Away To The Right. Its All Trees There Now,

Anyway...My TS 2016 The Racetrack....How Do I Keep My Ditch Lights On All The Time Flashing Like The Real Metra Loco Does? Have Been Looking All Over An Can't Seem To Find A Way. Would Be Really Appreciated If Someone Point Me In The Right Direction.

From the manual:
2 The ditch light switch defaults to the AUTO position. It also functions in the other positions: OFF, Continuous ON, and
Continuous FLASH.
3 You can also mouse-click on the light itself to toggle it on and off.

This seems the proper place to toss in the fact that the ditch lights of many U.S. diesels are on after a scenario has been saved, closed, and restarted. Some like them on; some like them off. That's life, eh?

Hey Buzz. Nice Work On The Signage Thing. Hmm..Ok Let Me See If I Got This. I Can Point My Mouse At The Ditch Lights Itself An Click?

I Just Noticed This After I Added The Physics Mod Last Night...When I Click The Bell...The Ditch Lights Stay Flashed....BUT..The Bell Also Stays On All The Time. Annoting. I Still Can't Believe In A Million Years They Made This Racetrack Aurora To Chicago. I Was Thinking About This Since The Very 1st Train Simulator. I Seen Mods Come An Go That I Couldnt Get Ahold Of. But Man...Out Of All The Metra Routes They Picked MY Route. Unbelieveable.

Clicking On The Light Itself Didnt Work. They Flash Only When I Click On Bell. But The Bell Stays On All The Time. Also..The H Button On The Keyboard Turns The Lights In Different Modes...But No Flash. Let Me Know.

Go into the cab and there is a switch there for the ditchlights. Manipulate with the mouse.

In The Cab... As In Number 2 View On The Laptop? Do I Use The Controls...Like The Light Button Next To The Wipers Button? I Know In The Manual.. It Says To Use H. But That Doesn't Work.

Number 1 is in cab.

The Cab car has a switch for control over the ditch lights while the F40PH's ditch lights come on with the headlight. The ditch lights will flash when the bell is on or the horn is blown. When the horn is blown however, the oscillating ditch lights eventually time out and revert back to normal. Hope that helps.

Gonna Try It In A Bit. So In The Cab...There "IS" A Way To Make The Ditch Lights Stay On Instead Of Timing Out With The Bell Or Horn? I Don't Have My Controls On Expert Mode. Would That Make Any Difference?

When all else fails . . . read the &^%*##@ manual!
