[FAQ] No Cabin llights

[WickedClown]

Hello IXEG Team, 

im doing my first flight and the plane itself works perfectly in XP11 but i still have no cabin lights and i just reached my crusing altitude. Is it bugged or is it XP10 only?

Thanks

Yeah, with the seatbelts in OFF we turn lights on. With AUTO they follow the flight phases (bright during boarding, dim for takeoff etc) but with ON they are always off, because they bleed light into the cockpit (current XP11 limitation) and puristst (like me) want a way to turn that off.

Hi Jan,

You mention this limitation of XP11 making the cockpit bright. However, for me above around 6000ft, the 'light' comes on regardless of the position of the seatbelt sign switch. Someone on the IXEG facebook fan page also mentioned that they are having the same problem. If I am below 6000ft, then everything works as intended.

Is there something I could do to bypass this problem?

Kind Regards

Hmm, I will take a look at this when I get home from vacation in two weeks!

Thanks for the report, Jan

Hi Jan, 

I hope you are enjoying your holiday.

I have attached 4 photos while trying to show the position of the cockpit light switches. As mentioned before, the seatbelt sign has no effect on this dim light in the cockpit, which can be seen in the last two pictures. Hopefully these will be helpful for when you get back. 

Kind Regards

Edgaras
