MD 11 panel save dome lighting

[Dicko 3]

I have noticed that when I load a saved panel before a flight with the MD11 (before engine start), the dome lights do not become operative until at least one engine has been started. The APU is already running so I would presume that would provide power to the dome lights?Andrew

This seems to be happening to me as well. Matter of fact I dont the DOME unless one or more engines are running.Whats the deal with this light? Again......FSX VersionPeter Osborn

That's because they use the smokesystem section in the aircraft.cfg for the dome light.That is just another work around FS screwed up lighting system.Alex
