Airplane is set to cold/dark startup. Initiating the battery everything is fine. Second step, Arming the emergency exit lights and the entire cockpit cabin is illuminated bright. Why is this? Every youtube video I see shows the cockpit should still almost entirely black with only a few lights coming on and in order to gain more light, the overhead light switch should be turned on. Even the MCP, ECAM Panels are all lit up bright even with the background light switch in the off position. I would like it to be more realistic for flight mode where no background lighting is on unless activated. Is there a fix for this? Thanks.

Never mind. There must have been a change with a previous update. For some reason, the cockpit lighting only functions normal once APU or GPU power has been provided. Weird feature to have.

When you arm the emergency exit light switch with the battery on, the emergency exit light will illuminate, making the whole cockpit bright. Thats what it is there for.

Once the main buses are powered (APU or GPU), the emergency exit light (it is the white light on the back wall) will extinguish again.
