Guages suddenly turn dark

Featured Replies

On my past two flights, my guage lights have suddenly died on me after having completed more than half the flight legs. It's like my PC "hiccups", or stutters, briefly and then the guages suddenly turn dark on the MCP. This didn't happen when I first installed PMDG's 737NG 600-700s. I do notice, however, that the individual guages will light up again when I turn the switches (ALT SEL knob, for instance). Very wierd. Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks a lot.

Hi Mark,what time of day are you flying - it could be due to the change to dusk from day. try and press the shift-L button to illuminate the lights in the cockpit and see if that helps.Ronniehttp://ronnie.vandelaak.com/baw644.gif

Maybe you can post a screeenshot or two on this phenomenon?What gauges are affected? Have you tried to remove and reinstall?Any changes made to your system lately? Any software installed? Particularly around the time you saw this happen for the first time.Cheers,

Ronnie may be right about the time of day, however. I HAVE been flying at dawn, and I'm using the latest FS Metar version for weather as well. Could it be a combination of the last two that is causing problems? I'll try and capture a screenshot if it happens again. Thanks for your suggestions! :-wave
