Panel Light

[Guest vierning]

When I open my Airbus during night there are only a few instruments with light on, there are no light on the panel, so I can see buttons and so on. I can't find any button for panel light. Can anybody help?Vierning

Vierning,Are you starting FS with a default flight before changing to the Airbus?

[Guest vierning]

When I'm starting FS9 the default aircraft is the Cessna. But I select the airbus before I go further on.Vierning

[Guest NormanB]

Fully select the Cessna and then change to the Airbus. Does this still happen?

[Guest SORSRR]

I'm having the same problem even when loading the default first. There is a switch on the overhead called 'DOME' and there is Off, Dim & Bright, but it isn't active? What's up?

You haven't said which Airbus you are using. If it is the A320 family try pressing Shift+L to turn the panel lights on after you have turned the batteries on from the overhead panel.Rob Elliott, EGPE InvernessPSS Airbus Support andAirbus Fleet Training Captain, British Airways Virtual airbus@speedbirdonline.co.ukhttp://www.speedbirdonline.co.uk/airbus.htmlhttp://www.bavirtual.co.uk

Sorry, it's the A320c. I'll try the Shift+L combo. Thanks

[Guest SORSRR]

Yes, Shift+L did the trick. Thanks again.P.S. The working switch would be a nice touch.Steve ArkellACA120http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/145184.jpg

>The working switch would be a nice touch.the A320 family were developed originally for FS2002 and there were various limitations then which didn't apply when the the A330/A340 were released under FS9. So they have a panel light switch on the overhead. There won't be any patches or updates for the A320 family, we have to hope a decision is taken to release a whole new A320 family, perhaps under FSX.Rob Elliott, EGPE InvernessPSS Airbus Support andAirbus Fleet Training Captain, British Airways Virtual airbus@speedbirdonline.co.ukhttp://www.speedbirdonline.co.uk/airbus.htmlhttp://www.bavirtual.co.uk
