FS9 Saratoga Panel Lighting

Featured Replies

I have been meaning to ask this for a while but was almost determined I was doing somethin wrong with my Saratoga in FS9 regarding cockpit lighting. For some reason, it doesn't appear that my panel lighting switches do anything (only the overhead red flood flight), until I turn on landing lights. Once I turn on my landing lights, my instrument backlighting kicks in, which seems odd to me. Does anyone else experience this?Thanks.

Capt. KC -- I have the Saratoga for FSX and can't get the panel lighting switches to work, even when I turn on landing lights. I can read the instruments when the sun is in the right position relative to the cockpit, but otherwise I need the red lights to see instruments and even then it's a problem. I've contacted Carenado, but they were no help. They told me to re-download, which I did, but the problem persisted. That suggests the problem might be in my system, but I can't imagine what it is. I have several other Carenado aircraft, including the F33, and panel lighting works fine in all of them. Have you found any solution since your original post?
