Title: Can't find panel light switches
Post by maxam on Feb 3rd, 2019 at 9:37pm
I cannot get the panel lights (yellow lines) to illuminate, all I have for lighting are flood lights in the VC. Here is the lighting section from the CS_757-200-III_PW2037 aircraft.cfg which all CS 757 III's are aliased to:

[LIGHTS]
light.0=9,  67.5,  0.00,  5.0, cs757_dome
light.1=8,  13.40, -17.47,  3.40, cs757_edge
light.2=8,  13.40,  17.47,  3.40, cs757_edge
light.3=3,  69.2,  0.0,  4.4, cs757_floodlc
light.4=7,  69.2,  1.65,  4.4, cs757_floodr
light.5=1,  68.77,  0.0,  5.24, cs757_m
light.6=2,  67.2,  0.0,  4.0, cs757_floodp

I recognize what the dome, flood lights and map are, what are "edge" lights? Have the panel (yellow) lights not been modeled?

I have tried to illuminate them at night in pitch black and cannot find any switch to turn them on. Can someone help or confirm they do in fact work?

Thank you.

**EDIT**

Success!

I read the CAPTAINIII_MANUAL_PART2.pdf again and found how to turn the panel lights on. I was using the LT OVRD switch instead of the dome light under the anti-ice and pressurization panel and found that if I turned the Dome light on first I could then find and activate the panel lights. I have now saved a custom state "ON APU NIGHT" and it works like a charm.

All is good now.  :)
