I installed FBL ver 3. Then installed ver 3.03.

I am running NEFB 045-06. Everything seems to be going fine, except there is no light on any of the signal lights. As I understand, ver 3.03 has something to do with signal lights.

Any suggestion on how to get the lights working? Thanks

Bert

Hi Bert!

I know this problem too. I read somewhere in this forum, that the problem with the signals is caused by some rolling stock or is a MSTS bug. As far as I got it right it's not possible to solve this.

Michael.

Thanks Michael,

Thats a bummer. The lights do show in the track monitor. Will have to watch that I guess. Thanks

Hi I had the same problem with this route, but after installing Maple Leafs search light upgrade all of the signal lights work. Hope this helps. Johnbull

Each tile in a route is limited to a number of lights depending on which version of Train Simulator your are running. This includes signal lights and lights on engines and wagons.

I had this problem yesterday and by removing lights from wagons the signal lights would work again. When removing the Lights section I also noticed a few wagons had an extra ) after the lights which disables the following brake and sound elements.

The FBL seems to be about the most sensitive route on signal light blackouts. Krausyao is correct about the number of lights on the rolling stock being the main driving factor on whether or not the signals are illuminated. Just another limitation of MSTS we have learned to live with over the years.
