Instrument lights
Good day,
Another winner for sure !
I start the sim at the moment in "ready to go" mode -
Minor concern, have nav and landing lights but unable to light up the instrument panel... pretty much clicked and rolled my mouse over every switch on the right hand console with no luck.
Also noticed my tool tips only appear to function on some of the switch's ?
Trust you can help
Cheers

Re: Instrument lights
Please note that on the light dials there is an inner and outer dial located on the same axis. Roll your mouse-wheel on the center of the dial for one light and on the outer edge of the dial for the other lights.

Re: Instrument lights
Also if you use the Estonia Migration tool, this will interfere with the cockpit lighting. What I do is take the file "migtool.dll" and move it out of my p3d root directory and the lights begin to work, then I just move the dll back in the root if I need to use it.

Re: Instrument lights
I am glad someone figured out what might be a light issue. I will attempt this and see if my helo light problems go away. Thanks for the tip.

Re: Instrument lights
It won't work if you have your AV on when you downloaded and installed the product. Or if you have AV checking the directories. Or if you're running P3D with the (can't remember the name of it!) software that allows you to import FSX aircraft into P3D.

Re: Instrument lights
Oh and you MUST be running the sim as administrator.

Re: Instrument lights
Yep, didn't run as admin. That was the problem
