Chako Posted July 31, 2016 Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 Hi, cdu execute btn has no light as well as the speed brake has no light function. Both of these have never worked and I thought they would be fixed with one of the updates. The controls work but no lights. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_anthony Posted July 31, 2016 Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 (edited) Could you attach a screenshot? Edited July 31, 2016 by dr_anthony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poodster Posted July 31, 2016 Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 Do you have hdr enabled? Because these lights work for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chako Posted August 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2016 hdr on or off doesn't matter. As far as a screen shot, i'll have to figure out how to do that although I don't see what that will provide? These two items are just dark all the time and always have been. All other lightening fcn seems to work properly. Even without the execute light the cdu seems to work but as yet I'm not that advanced in its operation. I've just started on the lesson that covers the cdu basics and everything works on the flight lesson from ksan to klax. Thanks for the imput. Any other ideas?

Litjan Posted August 1, 2016 Report Share Posted August 1, 2016 Hi Chako, The EXEC light will only come on if you have a valid, activated route. My bet is that your route does not fulfil the requirements to be executed. As for the speedbrake, are you sure you are moving the lever to the "ARM" range? This only works in the air, btw...you are not trying to get the green light on the ground, are you? Cheers, Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chako Posted August 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2016 Hi Litjan, You hit the nail on the head in both cases. I'm new to heavies but from experience I've learned i'ts usually something I'm not doing or doing it wrong so I'm reluctant to post. With time I usually figure things out using the forms or trial and error. This time I had to inquire. The light on the execute btn is on in the video tutorial for the San Diego flight tutorial so I thought mine should be on also. As for the speed brake I was to busy to notice the green light when I armed it plus I didn't realize there isn't a light while on the ground. This aircraft is awesome especially with the tutorials. Thank you very much for your help, most appreciated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
