Landing lights on/off not recognised by ACARS

[crisk73]

Not a real bug honestly but annoying as my VA ACARS system does not recognise the switching on/off of the Landing lights so I always get a bad penalty for not setting them on/off passing FL100.

It seems to me that they are not connected to xplane dataref, that's why the ACARS does not see the click on the switches. Is that intentional?

Thanks!

If you work for an airline that checks on you turning the landing lights on/off at FL100 via ACARS I would start looking for another employer .

I will check the dataref and see whats going on .

SkyMaxPro with the cloud lighting reflection is also not detecting the outboard or inboard landing lights. Iooks like the dataref is used on the runway turnoff lights. Have you tried that ?

Thanks Tom I will give it a try, in the meanwhile I have set a new key in xplane which toggles the landing lights on/off just to trigger the action to "fool" the acars.
