Issue with landing lights and cabing lights on takeoff

Featured Replies

Hello,

 

I'm experiencing an issue with my PMDG 737-800 NGX SP1c. While taking off at night, with landing lights on and cabin lights off, as soon as I start lifting and the rear wheels leave ground, my landing lights turn off and my cabin lights turn on, spoiling all my night takeoffs. Not 100% sure, but I think this happens also during day, but I notice later on, when reaching 10.000 feet just to find my landing lights are already off.

 

Any idea what can I be doing wrong?

 

Thanks in advance,

Look in your aircraft settings for "pilot controls aircraft lights."

 

Check it.

 

Done.

Thanks for your reply, scandinavian13.

 

I have that setting checked, I guess that's OK.

 

BTW, I've tried again with a day flight and it didn't reproduce, looks like it only happens at night.

 

Thanks,

I've moved to a new computer, now with Windows 8.1, installed everything from scratch and the issue with landing lights and dome lights occurs again, even in daytime when wheather is a bit dark.

 

Anyone with an idea on how to fix this?

 

TIA,

Try toggling the setting kyle mentioned. Off, run fsx, on, run fsx

 

Its not a win 8.1 issue as I dont have the same prob.
