How do I view the glide slope in the King Air?

Thanks again. Just finished my first flight where this worked. What a difference (and a great descent into Singapore). 

A couple things I noticed or am curious about:

Does the APPR have to be enabled for the interception or the GS to work? I hit it just in case.

I also decided to make this my first night flight assuming this would work and found two other strange things happen. The taxi and landing lights never came on. I noticed that the landing lights would flash for a moment as if they'd come on, but then instantly went off again. Are you seeing this issue? I swore they both worked previously, but maybe that was another plane?

Yes, NAV mode will always follow the CDI, whether on FMS/GPS, LOC or VOR. So usually what I'd do in RL is once established (or establishing) on the final approach course, I'd leave the AP in NAV mode and then just swap the CDI. Now I'm tracking the localizer instead of the GPS flight plan. Once that's established and identified, etc then I'd hit APPR, which will also activate GS mode in white under ALT in green and when the GS is intercepted, the AP (or flight director) will follow the GS down.

Re: the landing lights, a couple things. First, in this plane, they're really hard to see from inside the cockpit - double check the external view to be sure if they're on or off.  However, there's also a pulse mode for the landing lights (also on the TBM), maybe called "Recognition" on the KA. I thought that when landing lights are turned on, that would override the Recognition lights, but maybe not - or maybe it just isn't simulated correctly. Not sure. Check for that.
