Railworks America

I have been wondering about the headlight of different railroad in Canada and U.S for a few days. I noticed that some of the headlights are very weak and is it possible to modify the headlight to get brighter instead of light or weak headlight. I know over at Microsoft Train Simulator there are headlight modfications but not sure if Railworks have one for the modern U.S. and Canada locomotives. For example with the Miami to West Palm route with CSX locomotive headlight are weak and hard to see from inside the cab through the night.

The "casted" portion of the headlight is a "child" object on most locomotives, and yes, they can be made brighter. For an already available locomotive, you would need to know how to create a point or spot light blueprint and export it. Then, you would need to know how to use RW_Tools to substitute your new casted light for the one in the locomotive BIN file. Maybe more trouble than it's worth.

Thank you for your reply and I am not going to try to make this work because I am very new with this program of Train Simulator. Maybe DoveTail Games team can do this to make the locomotive's headlight brighter. Or someone else here or there know how to do as what you said in your message.

Thank you,

John

Maybe someone could make a video tutorial on how to edit the headlights using the utilities to edit blueprints and what not.
Got the GP9 DLC pack (SD70 packs except one) and few others and the headlight turn on, they just don't emit any light and would like them to only problem is i only know hot to use the utilities to install packages but messing with the blueprint editor is unknown territory for me like clicked on it and that's as far as i got.
I can replace horn and bell sounds no problem and depending on the method of reskin instalment no problem.
