Featured Replies

hi friends,I have a problem with overhead panel.Taxi, logo, wing light switches don't stay in on position but once cliked they turn back to off position :-(Can anyone please help?Thanks in advance Luigi ;-)

Hey folks!Really i'm alone with this strange switch problem?cheersLuigi ;-)

>Hey folks!>Really i'm alone with this strange switch problem?>>cheers>>Luigi ;-)You may be... try this.Load a default aircraft, and make sure the battery and avionics master switches are on, then load the PMDG.It may be something funky with the electrical system.

Hi Tim.Will try in the evening and report.Thanks for helpingLuigi ;-)

Hi Tim.Unfortunately it doesn't work :-(The problem is the switch itself that doesn't stay ON but turn back in OFF position.I also restored a default aircraft.cfg but w/o luck.What should i do at this point?ThanksLuigi ;-)

"It may be something funky with the electrical system."The light switches are not electrically latched, so it shouldn't make any difference, Tim ... at least not in the real world ;-)Cheers.Ian.

>"It may be something funky with the electrical system.">>The light switches are not electrically latched, so it>shouldn't make any difference, Tim ... at least not in the>real world ;-)>>Cheers.>Ian.>True, but my guess is that FS thinks there's no power flowing, and is for some reason changing the light state to OFF, and that's causing the switches to move. I'm pretty sure that some of the light switches in PMDG are linked to the "FS" lighting functions and thus move when you hit the keystroke or have an FS electrical problem.
