First of all -- Yes I did read the manual about how to turn on the front locomotive headlight by pressing the key with " H " And it is working but strange thing with that headlight. You can see the reflection of the headlight onto the tracks from inside the cab window as you are the engineer to drive the train. But when I checked the view #4 camera to see the front of the leading locomotive and the headlight is off not on at all. Also can see the reflection of the headlight on view #2 camera partly on the left side of the leading locomotive. I wonder if that is a bug or can be fixed with this problem so I can see the headlight on the front of the locomotive is on. I am not sure if just me or others have the similar problem with the headlight.

Got my ticket from DoveTail Games support and said that " Sadly my dynamic lighting is not enabled " Well that guy is wrong. Because my dynamic lighting is already enabled in Options Menu of Train Simulator 2020 settings. I am not sure what else it is but when I press the key with " H " to turn on the headlight and you can see the reflection of the light is shining but the headlight bulb is NOT on. Look like to me that the bulb is burn out haha. I wonder if there is a corrupt file in this locomotive. I already did run " Verify integrity of game cache from the Local file options " but did not solve this problem yet. Guess that I have to tell DTG Support that there is a problem with this locomotive that I have. Because all other locomotives that I have from DoveTail are working and can see the headlight is on at the front of the locomotives.

MY PROBLEM IS SOLVED as I didn't realize with one part in the settings ( ingame display settings ) in my Options Menu for the program of Train Simulator 2020. I noticed that there is no checkmark in the box for Headlight Flares so I thought well maybe I should give a try to put the checkmark in the box and see what happen with the locomotive headlight can turn ON/OFF. Yes it is. PHEW and finally with this working now.
Want to say thank you for your patience with me about this.
Cheers,
John
