Cockpit lights

[Bigmack 29]

Maybe I missed something but do the cockpit lights suppose to turn on auto. If so, is there a way to deactivate it. I noticed that my cockpit lights turn on without me hitting the switch. I turn them off and a while later thier on again.Bill M

Thanks but I know how to turn the lights on and off. My question is why do they come on automatically. And if there's a way to stop it.Bill M

Happens to all aircraft. When FS switches over to dusk and night, the lights turn on by default on all aircraft. Don't think there is a way to keep them off unless there is something in the FS9.cfg. Which raises the question...why would you want to fly with cockpit lights off while it's dark?RegardsGoran
