DTG GP38-2 Ditch Lights

I just got the NS GP38-2 pack from DTG. I know that in the key features it states that it has flashing ditch lights. I went in game to test out my new model, and when I blew the horn the lights did nothing but stay on without flashing. The manual says nothing about pressing a special key for that feature.
I basically made this topic to see if it was only my installation that installed incorrectly, or if it is a mistake DTG made.

Thanks

I don't own the pack but I heard that they don't work.

I sent DTG an email two days ago, and all they replied with was 'You would need to have TSX enabled to see such features' which is a really horrible response considering it is a failure in their model. They false advertised about this feature and they think its a setting that I've had turned on for about a year now. Everybody has this problem. DTG better step up their game because they are not doing very well on these new models! (especially the new braking that is a complete fail)

Mine work. Only works when the horn is actuated.

Are you sure? The long hood forwards GP38-2 by DTG?

My loco's ditch lights don't flash, blowing the horn or not.
There are no separate ditch light nodes in the shape file, nor are there lines of flashing code in the engine script. DTG forgot to add the hardware and code. !**duh*!!

DTG needs to step up their game, many the latest batch of US loco's are poor.
We have had and still have non turning wheels, plows on the wrong end, horns and bell wrong, no proper independent brake operation, murky textures, non labelled, non working switches on the stand and probably a lot of stuff I haven't noticed yet.
Not to mention the elastic couplers with too short shanks and different length brake hoses that don't mate.

That about sums it up nicely.
