You could re-download, but if the download was corrupt, you would have major issues. It wouldn't mess up your lights or smoke. -Jeff

RE: Problem with MLT Dash 9

I am having the same problem with this engine. No head light when on full or dim, and no ditch lights on dim. I have not changed the engine files in any way.

From your third pic where the ditch light is towards the center more than it should and the nose lights can be seen back a bit into the nose, I'd say that you still have the original default dash9.eng file. Try reinstalling it or install it into a temp folder and copy the dash9.eng file from there into the DASH9 folder in you TRAINSET directory. My 2 cents worth...EDIT: DOH SPELLING!!!!!

RE: Problem with MLT Dash 9

There is nothing wrong with MLT's Dash 9-44CW. Chances are your download was corrupt or you've got the original ENG file from the default crap Kuju Dash 9.
