Passengers coachs with no light at night.

[RWag64]

I think it's already known, but all the passengers coachs (in ED250, EN76 or EP07/08) are totally dark at night (no interior lights).

In player controlled or AI trains? Player have to set compartment lighting in emu/activate power coupling (heating) in loco. I don't see any reports about it and it worked fine before.

Yesterday, I was dispatcher at night, and I've seen all trains passing  by totally dark (AI and player driving). They have just front and back lights.

When I was driver in the EP07/08, I haven't seen a button to switch on the lights on the passenger coachs (I remember there is one in the ED250).

In locos it's called power line/power coupler/train heating. All it does is to send 3kV DC to locos heating coupler. If wagon has power and night flag is active (sun dependant last time I checked; same as for lampposts), corridor lighs up and random compartments.
I tested EU07 with 111a wagons and pendolino spawning them as bots and it worked as intended. In case of some vehicles it might be barely visible as windows are darkened.

OK. I'll try to look again and I think that your explanation is good.

Again, this night, I was outside of the building and I've seen the "Bot" train 1445 passing by with no interior light at all.

Idem with the 3144, I was again outside, near the tracks. The only things lighted in the train are the panel with "2nd class" and the destination panel.

OK, the train 14143 (EP07) has its passengers coaches lighted (with two lamps in the ceiling of the train places). It was standing on the platform and I can go to the train and look at it.

When this train (14141) passed by me (always outside of the building), I thought that it had no interiors lights (because the train look dark, even if I've seen (when it was on the platform) that it was lighted.

In France, at night, we see all the coaches very luminous and it's a ray of light moving by.

I was in Wloszczowa Polnoc.

anyway, no problem, it's a very little "bug" and we can ignore it.

I agree with you.
At night, when you are a driver, you can actually see the interior lights of your train's cars but not those of other AI and player trains. And when you're a Switcher, you don't see any lights in the AI/Player train. Only the lights of the front and rear headlights are visible but no lighted cars.

This night, I took the train 1343 (Pendolino) at Warszawa Wschodnia and I manually switch on the lights on the passengers coaches. It was OK.

At Warszawa Centralna, I went out of the cab and walked in the tunnel to wait and see the 1343 passing by. It has all its passengers coaches lighted, and it was very pleasant to see a train totally lighted, in this dark tunnel.

Then I took a dispatcher role (in Psary) and wait for the 1343. When it passed by, I went out of the building to look at it, and it was totally dark (no more light on the passengers coaches).
