None of my GA A/C have any lighting. Is that a bug, or am I missing something? 

I have been flying the 172, just finished a night flight and lighting was as expected…

Thanks, I have no idea what my issue. 2024 is running great for me, EXCEPT. I have no AC lighting.

That’s interesting, wonder what it could be.

I know the steam gauge 172 has no power at all at the moment, I was flying the G1000.

Maybe, give it a try and see?

The 172 w/ G1000 is what I am flying right now, to be clear, the screens are fine, just no exterior lighting or interior "lighting".

OK, so if I cheat and hit CTRL E I do get he lights, but if I start the engines on my own and turn light switches on, I don't is there something I am forgetting to do? And I do have generators on.

I flew my addon Hondajet today and when it came to late afternoon the cockpit and panel got to dark to use.  I was forced to adjust the time back to earlier in the day to complete the flight. 

Something is clearly amiss with time of day and lighting effects.

Agree, based on other aircraft... Carenado 182 RG for example.

Noticed the displays are super dim even at full brightness.  Also, I did not notice any visible exterior lights on the H-Jet similar to many other aircraft....

One thing you may want to verify, is that no physical controls are assigned to ANY of the controllers for lighting. I have the HC Alpha and I had an issue where i used the SR22 Avionics switch in the plane and it didn't turn on. I then clicked my HCA switch and there it was. Normally, I don't assign switches to my controllers but evidently, MSFS2024 decided to do it for me.. Also, just a PSA, if you have multiple controller setups, watch out since they may have a BUNCH of duplicated assignments. You may find a host of issues while flying.

The light knobs on the 'overhead' of the Vision Jet do turn and you see the light itself change color but it has no effect at all in the cockpit. Luckily the backlight rotation knob does work so you can still see what you are doing (when it comes to buttons and knobs) when it gets darker.

I have discovered at least one issue today.  I was in flight at 12:00 noon, USA EST.  The GMT at that time is 17:00.  The lighting that MSFS was presenting to me for 1700Z appeared instead to be equivalent to 17:00 local time, dusk.  When I slid the handlebar weather screen time bar backwards to 1200Z the lighting was perfect and the sun was in the 12 noon position.  1200Z at that time would have been 07:00 local time. Dawn.  Roosters crowing....

That may be one issue.  The second issue however is very dim cockpit lighting from dusk onward into night.

The Hjet by design has automatic light levels as it's namesake Hondajet has.

My controls configurations for HC Alpha, Bravo, mouse, and CW rudder pedals all started from scratch (no carried forward assignments).  That leaves the keyboard, which I do not use other than for sound volume and nVidia app screen captures.

After flying today it appears to me that cockpit lighting is responding to GMT time, not local time.  For my mostly EST time zone flying that is currently a 5 hour difference.  My cockpit lighting begins to fade at noon, which is 17:00 GMT.

The second issue appears to be that MSFS 2024 is not adjusting the interior/cockpit lighting as the environment grows dark.

Odd, but outside environment lighting is not affected.  Only cockpit/interior lighting.

This is observed in two separate addon aircraft.  I have not flown an MSFS 2024 default aircraft.  I rarely fly default models.

We are the beta testers!   Just wonder if anyone is interested in our findings... 🫢

I've had the impression that 2024 cockpits looked quite dark so started up 2020 and 2024 at the same time, put each one in a window with the same aircraft (Cessna 172), same airport, same clear weather and same time of day. 2024 looks quite a bit darker. Even the text on the panels in 2020 is easier to read.
