Headlight Direction

[ApproachMedium]

How does one change the direction of the head lights on the loco in cab mode. I would have thought that if I changed the reverser to reverse the head light would switch to the hammer head, and vise versa when switched to forward. But it's not like that. How do you do it?

As far as I know, only certain locomotives are modeled in such a way as to allow this to happen. I don't think it's something you are doing wrong.

I posted this same question before with no response. I'll blame Ed. Ahhh.. that was easy! Hehehe... What I as wondering is if this also applies to locos that DO seem to have directional lighting when the AI is driving. I have a Sub Par Productions loco that won't change light direction in cab mode but will with the AI.

For locomotives which were constructed with two cab just press 'Alt-C'. For locomotives with a n assigned driver you could use a driver command which changes the direction.
In Trainz the reverser only changes the direction of movement, not the heading of the locomotive.

I will definitely try this. Thanks.
