Just pushed back and noticed the left and right fwd overwing exit lights are both illuminated.

 

I have checked all doors are closed according to the Doors menu in the FMC, I have checked from the outside and the doors are closed and I have checked I have no failures active so can't understand why these warning lights are illuminated and how to make them extinguish...?

 

Anyone else seen this? I have never seen this problem before.

I've experienced this and couldn't resolve it. I just had to restart flight

After performing all the checks mentioned in my previous post I was brave/stupid and took off despite these warnings and once airborne to my joy I noticed they were extinguished so whatever it was causing this it resolved by itself :-)

Go to the FMC, and open the overwing exits then close them again, I taxiied and they didn't exstinguish so seems weird, although only had this issue once and that's how I fixed it so I didn't need to stop the flight ... or better still pretend you didn't see the lights and take-off and then have some diversion back to the airport fun...

I tried opening/closing the overwing exits several times via the FMC to no avail but as mentioned above the warning lights extinguished after I took off and I'm happy to tell you both myself and all PAX are now safe on the ground again

The pressure build-up sealed them

Yes, I guess you're right

Well I have seen some realistic sims, but this is amazing!.. :wink:

It would be rather odd for the pressure buildup to seal them, since they're canopy type exits.

This is however a quirk the real NG has too, although I'm not sure I've heard of the sixpack lighting up during taxi.

Check the intro doc. This is a known behavior on the NG. The doors may not close completely until the pressurization seal them.

There are some really good quirks modelled by PMDG here guys Welcome to the world of planes that with hundreds of moving parts are far from perfect

I know, i know, as we all do.

Advancing the thrust levers usually have helped me, that should engage the locks in the over wing exits. Advance the thrust levers fully forward and back, no need to wait for the engines to spool up.

Thanks for the tip! Will try that next time I have the same problem.
