Seat belt switch controlling dome light (XP11)

Hi Mike,

the seat-belts switch is actually controlling the cabin lights - and unfortunately they "bleed" through the cockpit rear wall and the cockpit door. We have been in contact with Laminar Research, but it seems to be the way it is for now.

So we have made the seat-belt switch control this:

In OFF you will always have cabin lights at 100%... with the (unfortunate) effect of them lighting up the cockpit as well.

In ON you will always have cabin lights off - so you can really enjoy the completely dark cockpit.

In AUTO they will follow a certain schedule...first bright during boarding, then going dim for takeoff, then bright at altitude (service phase), then dim again for landing and tax-in.

We will likely have a fix for the bleed-through in the next patch, so for now control them with the SeatBelts switch, please.

Cheers, Jan

Ahhh, makes sense now, thanks for clearing that up..

 

funny thing is is I got so caught up in the dome light thing I forgot my packs were switched off :blink:

...and an important lesson in cockpit risk and error management was learnt! ;)

Cheers, Jan
