No Nav Lights on the 172 Analog Aircraft?

Featured Replies

Is this how the lights on the NAV gauges should be at night? The NAV lights just turns on the lights of the clock. I have to turn on the cabin lights to see what I have on this image. Thats it?

It's a bug.  You have to dial the gauge lights all the way down to zero (the clock backlight will go out), then when you increase them all the gauges will light up.

There are two dials on the panel partially hidden by the Pilot's yoke.   The upper dial controls the gauge backlights (outer ring) and GPS knob/button backlights (inner ring).  Unfortunately none of them control the GPS LCD display backlight.
