Locomotive Headlight Update

[jkjcksn]

Could the Devs please switch the headlight control sequence back to the way it used to be (off, front dim, front bright, etc., vs off, front full, both full)?

From what I've heard, the lights will revert to "normal" at the next update.

The 'both on dim' setting is entirely prototypical as yard engines should display dim headlights both front and rear.

Maybe make double headlights a "Ctrl" + key press thing?

What I don't like about headlight functionality is the lack of MU recognition. I have two GP9's in MU mode, facing away from each other. When I want to switch the directions of the lights from front to rear, I need the game to turn on the light of the rearmost loco, the light facing in the opposite direction, regardless of which way that loco is facing.

It's a pain to Ctrl-click the rear loco, select it, and then have to cycle through its light patterns to finally get the light I want. When two or more locos are attached in MU, ALL functionality needs to function as if it's ONE loco. Not just the engine and brakes, but the lights also.

And yes, please put the light pattern back to how it was and let us press the addition of the
Ctrl key if we want to put both front and rear on at the same time for yard work.

Another upgrade for the GP9's. There are unused buttons on the engineer's control panel, use them for things like this please.

Yeah, I'd love to see the previous lighting options come back

That is the plan, thanks for the request!
