Lighting for streets shops housing etc

[gch]

I am brand new to Trainz and have the 2010 system. I am working my way through the absolutely vast system and am resolving stuff daily

Today's mini step forward is street and seasie lighting. Is it correct that only some street lights and lighting named things give a night time effect but many don't.

Obviously I am experimenting but just curious if there is an easy way of knowing that light fittings "work" or not.

Hi Graham

No easy way of knowing I'm afraid, unless the author has put a note in the description text which you can see in CM3.2. (You could also check the config file but thats not an easy way).

But - if you place an asset such as a street light that you like but it does not light up you can use something like:

Light strip 10x02m,<kuid2:68213:21032:1> by "dinorius_redundicus"

To cast a pool of light at the foot of the lamp.

The above asset is just an example, there are others on the DLS.

Cheers
