Why no strobe lights on the Carenado C172II in XPX?

Featured Replies

I have the Carenado C172II and love it. My only complaint is that I can't get the strobe lights to turn on. Is this is a bug? The 3D panel actually has a switch spot labeled "strobes" but it is not clickable. Why? Is this a bug? Shouldn't all planes have strobes? I also cannot turn the strobes on with the strobes switch on my Saitek TPM, which does work for other aircraft. And in an unrelated topic, I miss not having a GPS in the cockpit on this bird, but it's a great excuse to practice my radio navigation skills which need some polishing up anyway. I love this plane!

intentional. the Carenado C152 and C185 also don't have strobes.

Really? Why? I've never flown a plane that didn't have them. I realize the 172II is an older model, but most Skyhawk II's I've seen had them.
