I am fairly new to the Microsoft FS word. Been using another FS for years. I have been enjoying the default Mooney. Last night I decided to try taking her up at night. However I found no way of lighting up the panel in the Virtual Cockpit. Is this possible or is it something I was doing wrong? The non-VC panel lite up with no problems. Thanks for any help.

Try hitting either the L key, or shift-L combination.Shift-L should be just interior lights, L will also give you landing lights.BTW, if you like the Mooney, there is a nice set of repaints in the Avsim library. Seach for clclmooney.zip.If you plan to stick with FS9 for a while, you might also want to get a set of really nice replacement gauges (payware) for the Mooney.RealityXP FLT gauges are a perfect match... see screen shot.Look for: www.reality-xp.comhttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/160261.jpg

Thanks that did the trick. I was searching for a switch on the panel...didn't think about a keyboard map.
