Someone before me must have thought of this.that's it.........:hehe: what help is that?
Donald,
You have to remember that even though the program is supported by N3V, and was originally created by Auran a decade agp, the majority, of the content has been made by the user community.
Now being the user community, the people here are mostly volunteers who make a locomotive or other asset for the program, mostly for themselves then decide to share it. There are also some people too who only create content and don't bother to drive or build routes, but anyway it's their generosity that keeps the program and community thriving.
So, what does this mean? Scripting is complicated. In fact most programming is complicated and outright time consuming. That being said means you're going to see locomotives with lots of cab scripting, others with barely nothing, and some in between. These people have other things to do in their life, unfortunately for them. Creating a working locomotive, or any animated asset is not an easy task, and the scripting on top of it means more testing and debugging before the asset can be released. In many cases the developer wants the project done so the asset can be used, and will most likely come out with an improved version some time in the future once he or she has had a chance to get back to the project.
So....If you are so inclined, have a go at it, create a custom cab and enable every switch, light, and anything else you desire. The program is open this way for you to have fun.

As JCitron said, N3V creates the saucepan, you throw in the ingredients

Yes, I know, and I thank you for your input, but i'm thinking has no one been down this road before. I know some of the built in stuff has the bells an whistle but ya can't open that. I'm just hoping somone remembers that so an so did that and here it is. I put a lot of time into reskin. lights and hoses on my engines. It just look funny having it all on all the time.
I understand, Don. This too depends up on the assets. Some of the newer locomotives have scripts that turn off the engine its self, and even put the lights on during the day. Again it's up to the creator to do this.
