External lights issue

    Hi Bravo, maybe all collaborators are already aware of this issue, but on the B788 the external lights don’t show as “ON.” It seems to be just a visual bug, but it makes it a bit confusing to know whether the lights are actually on or off.

    Also, for both the B788 and B789, it would be great if in the cold and dark configuration the overheat panel lights, MCP, and main panel lights could be set to turn on by default when the battery is switched on.

        Hi @PerterKiller

        In which sim version is the light issue?
        Which lights do you speak off?

            I’m talking the button inside the cockpit, the light that indicates if the external light is off or on, just looks like a dark button pressed, I fly in the 2020 version

                Forgot it, is just because the lights of the overhead panel are off when you turn on the master bright, just looks “ON” until u put the overhead panel light as on

                    Did this solve your light question?

                Hi,
                The cold and dark start up overhead panel lights idea is great. I will implement that.

                As a matter of fact I'm considering batteries On with Nav lights On. It's a mix of procedures and conditions each airline has in different parts of the world. Normally someone else like ground-handlers and mechanics, etc. So this will be much more realistic honestly being a glass-cockpit-software heavy aircraft.

                1. Progress
