Cab lights?

Unread postby NickF » Sat Nov 24, 2012 3:08 pm

Bought the F40 on sale from Steam this morning. Tried running the introductory trip from Reno to Sparks at zero dark thirty and can't get instrument lights in the cab! Had them briefly at one point, then they went out again.

Anybody else had this problem?

Edit:
Never mind; I finally found the instructions for lights. (For some reason the pop-up didn't display the first time I ran it.) On the othert hand, it's freakin' dark in there, and I spend a few minutes groping around before I finally located the cab and instrument light switches. !DUH!

And if you look almost straight up amd to the right there's a ceiling lamp with a big black button to the right of it that turns on the cab light.

My problem was that it was so dark I couldn't even figure out where the other electric switch panel was.

Yes, the cab lights are above your head (as they are IRL). Inconvenient in the game, but proto is proto.
