I have asked this question, but probably not to the right persons.

Regarding Light definitions in Open Rails.

Headlight ( 0 ) = Headlight on , Headlight ( 2 ) on , Headlight ( 3 ) on . Working correctly
Headlight ( 1 ) = Headlight on , Headlight ( 2 ) off, Headlight ( 3 ) off.
Headlight ( 2 ) = Headlight off, Headlight ( 2 ) on , Headlight ( 3 ) off. Working correctly
Headlight ( 3 ) = Headlight off, Headlight ( 2 ) off, Headlight ( 3 ) on . Working correctly
Headlight ( 4 ) = headlight off, Headlight ( 2 ) on , Headlight ( 3 ) on .
Headlight ( 5 ) = headlight on , Headlight ( 2 ) off, Headlight ( 3 ) on .
Headlight ( 6 ) = Headlight on , Headlight ( 2 ) on , Headlight ( 3 ) off.
Headlight ( 7 ) = headlight off, Headlight ( 2 ) on , Headlight ( 3 ) on .

Some MSTS lighting definitions that do not appear to be currently working in OR.
Do you know if these definitions will be included in Open Rails.

Cheers Ross

Are you asking about the headlight() condition in engine/wagon lighting sections? Open Rails supports the following values:

• 0: Ignore
  
• 1: Off
  
• 2: Dim
  
• 3: Bright
  
• 4: Dim or bright (MSTSBin)
  
• 5: Off or dim (MSTSBin)
  
• 6: Off or bright (MSTSBin)

There's one more value, which MSTSBin labels as "DimBright", which we don't implement because the MSTSBin manual isn't clear on how it works.

As far as I can see, all of the values listed above work in Open Rails. If you don't think they are, you need to very clearly specify which cases are not working - it is not possible to tell from your post what you are actually testing.

Hi James, Thank you for your reply and your work on Open rails.

Headlight definitions the basic MSTS settings.
MSTSBin are defined in the Unit (4) or (5) settings for the travel direction.

0: Ignore Headlight (0) (Headlight Off=on Dim=on Full=on) Working correctly
1: Off Headlight (1) (Headlight Off-on Dim-off Full=off)
2: Dim Headlight (2) (Headlight Off=off Dim=on Full=off) Working correctly
3: Bright Headlight (3) (Headlight Off=off Dim=off Full=on) Working correctly
4: Dim or bright Headlight (4) (Headlight Off=off Dim=on Full=on)
5: Off or dim Headlight (5) (Headlight Off=on Dim=off Full=on)
6: Off or bright Headlight (6) (Headlight Off=on Dim=on Full=off)
7: missing Headlight (7) (Headlight Off=off Dim=on Full=on)

Headlight (7) is a handy one to save defining Headlight (1) and Headlight (2)
on a caboose where there is a rear facing, side facing and front facing light.
There can be many statements for just one light. Which Headlight (7) reduces.
I know Headlight (0) can be used, but that's a cop out. Means on all the time.

Example of Headlight (6) Not working correctly is :
Currently Headlight (6) (Headlight Off=on Dim=off Full=on)

Not sure about screenshot postings on Elvas tower.

You need to switch to the advanced post editor (button below quick reply field), there find the "Click to attach files" button, select the files in the selection window opened, click upload, wait for them to upload, click to where in your post you want them to appear, then click "add to post".

Cheers, Markus

Can you please just follow the bug reporting guidelines and give us:

• The lighting condition which doesn't work
  
• Tell us what you expect it to do
  
• Tell us what it actually does

Please select just one lighting condition that isn't working according to your expectations.

[rosssweet]

Thanks James,
Maybe start with Headlight (7) not working at all.
Headlight=off..2-Dim=on..3-Full=on)

I don't think that's a good one to start with, as it isn't not implemented at all; nevertheless, you have not provided a complete lighting condition like I asked for, nor have you provided any details on what you expected it to do. If you do not meet these criteria, it will not be possible to investigate your issue at all.

(Please select just one lighting condition that isn't working according to your expectations)

Not sure how to explain it clearer.

Lets go to Headlight (6)

Should be, and works in MSTS.

key “h” is not pressed = ON

key “h” is one time pressed = ON

key “h” is two times pressed = OFF



In OR X2827.not matching MSTS

key “h” is not pressed = ON

key “h” is one time pressed = OFF

key “h” is two times pressed = ON
