Hello everyone,

on electric locomotives the pantograph control sequence does not work correctly. Pantograph animation 1 is runing from the front cabin after pressing P, which is correct. Pressing Shift + P triggers pantograg 2 animation and this is also correct.
However, after changing the position (switching the cab to the rear Ctrl + E) after pressing P, pantograph 1 is again started, which is wrong. The correct thing is to run Pantograph 2 animation. Pantograph 1 must not start until Shift + P is pressed.

This means that the pantograph sequence identification must also change after the cab has been switched.

Could someone please look at this?

Hi Carlo,
if there are more pantographs, the same procedure is used as for two pantographs.

Front Cab:
P key - Pantograph 1
Shift + P key - Pantograph 2
Ctrl + P key - Pantograph 3
Shift + Ctrl + P - Pantograph 4

Rear Cab:
P key - Pantograph 2
Shift + P key - Pantograph 1
Ctrl + P key - Pantograph 4
Shift + Ctrl + P - Pantograph 3

Hi Carlo,
will you pls look at it? The same situation as car flipped could be used. It would be only tested if the front or rear cab is active.

Hi Icik,
can you try replacing the two files included in the .zip in OR NewYear MG rev. 55.1 and see if they behave as you request?

Hi Carlo,
I have to apologize, I described it wrong. Actually, it's just a swapping pantograph animation. The order of pantographs for the rear cab must be the same as the order for the front cab.
Can you please fix it yet?

Hi Icik, I dont understand what you mean.
To make it clear, with the change I have done, if you press P and you are in the rear cab, you don't rise any more the panto above your cabin, but the other one. What do you expect instead?

After your update, the animations are going right now.
What is wrong is the display of pantograph 2 in the rear cabin after pressing the P key. However, this should still be indicated by pantograph 1. Only the animation must switch to pantograph 2.

Front Cab:
P key - Pantograph 1, Animation 1
Shift + P key - Pantograph 2, Animation 2
Ctrl + P key - Pantograph 3, Animation 3
Shift + Ctrl + P - Pantograph 4, Animation 4

Rear Cab:
P key - Pantograph 1, Animation 2
Shift + P key - Pantograph 2, Animation 1
Ctrl + P key - Pantograph 3, Animation 4
Shift + Ctrl + P - Pantograph 4, Animation 3

Edit: It's the same as when the locomotive is flipped.
