Thanks Joe, just as I thought. In that case PMDG messed around with the defaults. The bottom line is that with the 737, panel lights are always on at night as soon as any other lights on the aircraft are turned on. The cockpit switch works in the internal view, controlling panel lights and jumps back to the on position in external view (spot or tower). With the night textures being displayed accordingly, the windows (based on the panel lights status) are always illuminated. Sucks.

Hi everybody, I've been fiddling around with FS9 the last few days working on some repaints and noticed that apparently nav lights and panel/instrument lights cannot be controlled separately. Whenever I switch on the nav/position lights, the panel lights come on as well. The problem there is that during taxy and takeoff, I would like to switch on the panel lights so as to turn off the external window lights (_L textures with black alpha). In some aircraft switching on ANY external lights automatically switches on the panel lights as well. Any ideas or thoughts? Thanks, Stefan

Hi guys,just hoping someone knows even roughly where to start on this one. I've been using my Ju-52 "Auntie Ju" for a few weeks now and am still trying to sort out a few issues. I suppose the major one is the hydraulic system, which is currently hijacked by a strange bug ...On selecting and loading the aircraft in FS 2004 it works fine, (differential) brakes function as normal. The problem comes in after start-up of number 2, which is the one fitted with the aircraft's only hydraulic pump. As soon as the hydraulic pressure settles on the normal ~1050 psi, the brakes are gone, gone as in FS 2004 does not react to brake input at all, even though the brake pressure gauge on the panel clearly shows an increase. So in terms of aircraft systems, the brake is fully functional; but the plane does not slow down and is treated as not being equipped with brakes by FS 2004.What I've tried so far is adjusting the normal hydraulic pressure in aircraft.cfg, but no luck there as of yet ... any ideas anyone?Cheers,Stefan
