I would assume the cabin lights of the -300ER were dimmed manually in the options page of the CDU. By default they are set to 100%. Maybe the -200LR's cabin light is set to a higher level of brightness and it therefore seems to look different.

Hello guys, I just completed my flight and don't know if it's an issue or not. I started my descent from FL360 by pushing the altitude intervention knob. I was still some miles away from T/D. So I was descending with approx. 1200fpm until I intercepted the glidepath. Then I was descending with 2500fpm, but the problem was that the A/T didn't go to IDLE. The engines were running at ~70% N1 and the airplane got faster and faster. I manually pushed the speed intervention knob and the engine's N1 decreased to IDLE and then HOLD (which should be normal). I thought that the engines also should decrease to IDLE when VNAV glidepath is intercepted without speed intervention. I also had a slight tailwind, but that shouldn't really matter. Btw. I don't have FSUIPC and my hardware doesn't manually override A/T. Although I know there are some issues with the default PMDG cold and dark state, I just want to mention that I don't get all the 'failures' like "HYD PRESS SYS L-C-R" or "ENG SHUTDOWN" when I turn on the batteries and the GPU. When I load another state I downloaded,all these information are shown in the upper EICAS. Thanks fo your answers and well done PMDG! :rolleyes: Greetings
