I have scoured the file d-loads for lighting fixes for the stock MS engines to make the ditch lights not flash (as most do not in the US) and also to have proper reverse lighting (i.e. when front coupled to a consist and backing up). Anyone have any idea as to some file names or locations of these fix-it files? Thanks in advance. Also any other add-ons (besides trainsets, routes, etc) that will help with the general function of the sim.

I don't know about any lighting fixes for those engines, but if you open the 2nd(I think) MSTS CD in windows exporer, there is a set of technical documents. One of them is the instructions about how to program lights. It is very cool, and will allow you to do whatever you want with your lights.
