Hello,
In the .eng file, I had adjusted all of my player engines "Sphere of Lights Dim" and Sphere of Lights Bright" FadeIn/FadeOut values as such:
FadeIn ( 1.5 )
FadeOut ( 0.75 )

This gave me a more reasonable speed for the lights when switching dim and bright lights on and off, or between dim and bright in MSTS.
I notice on OR, the speed is unrealistically fast (or defaulted away from my edited values), so do these values not get recognized by OR, or are the interpreted differently, which would lead to altering these values further?
Is there another edit for OR to get them at a comparable speed as I did for MSTS?

Thanks very much for any input.

Neil

We don't use the fade times when switching between different "on" states, so typically between dim & bright. They're only used for going between "on" and "off". This is probably a bug. :)

Hello James,
Thanks very much for your reply.
Forgive my ignorance, as I am new to posting OR related questions here - when you acknowledge that it is probably a bug, is it then added to a list for future considerations for future releases?

Much appreciated,

As I recall....a few years back..there was an issue that ONE and ONLY ONE headlight could be displayed at any one time. Thus unlike in MSTS, where multiple spheres of light were possible (been so long now, cannot remember exactly), it was possible to fade on sphere of light into another. Alas in OR we cannot do that, instead a sphere of light "comes on"...and transitions from dim to high are "fixed". You only get fading when the light is first turned on or lastly turned off.

Far as I recall, even with the addition of the Bin patch, MSTS only ever allowed ONE sphere of light to be active at any time. The transition between high and low sort of gave the impression of two spheres being active, but that was just an illusion. Everything else was just a lightglow.

It is not automatically considered, as we usually expect people to report the bug, but I've done it for you: bug #1705103. I've initially targeted the bug at version 1.3 (the next stable release). If you have any further details to add - like which value MSTS uses for the dim/bright fade - you can add a comment, or reply here and I'll transcribe to the bug.
