Hello Mark !
I have two bugs with this plane :
1) The master bright button on overhead dont work or when it work the panels lights swiches off after few minutes ? Why ? The engines and generators are started.
2) When I start engines no indications of N1 or N2 are displayed. I dont know when I do swich on start levels ?
I have downloaded the last version 1.2
Thanks for your response. Undecided
Best regards.

Panel lights will not work in the daylight, it's an FSX design issue not directly CS's fault. Only a couple of developers, have written external functions, that will allow them to work in the daylight. They do work at night though. The one thing I would have liked though, is an independent light control for the glare shield lighting. Again though, they would probably have to right an external function to do this.

All they need to do is write their own XML code for the lights and include them in the Panel gauges (or in the MDL itself).
I would like to see more individual light switches i.e. the LOGO LIGHT Switch turns on the LOGO Lights.
At the moment, too many of the light switches are dummy switches and so they are INOP (do nothing). Sad

They do? I haven't seen that, except the dome light, which also works on 777. Also the display's same as the 777. The panel backlighting, glareshield lighting, does not work on either 757/767 that I'm aware of, and definitely not in daylight. I'm going to check this out now!!

Edit: I just checked the 767, it's the same as the 777. There's a one knob on/off panel light, and a dome light, that's it. Same as the 777. Actually the 777 glareshield light switch works, but it doesn't illuminate anything, because the glare shield illumination is on by default, and can't be turned off. When you turn it on you can see a light go on and off under the recessed part of the MCP. The knob also should have a double knob like the ND/wxr knob to the left of it. It is only a single. The second part should individually control back lighting.

Yep. It's the same in the 757, 767 and 777 for me too.
