KAP 140 Autopilot backlight
Hi,
Thank you for another fantastic model. Is there a backlight for the KAP 140 autopilot because it almost impossible to use it during night flights.

I know how to light instruments but still cannot find how to turn on backlight for autopilot. Please find a screenshot attached. As you can see all buttons are dark.

The Maplight is situated above the copilots seat along the window frame , click on that and it will light the addon units nicely

What Chuck is trying to say... is that there is no backlight on this unit.

While not the same version as your screenshot, this snap illustrates the how the avionics stack is illuminated by the copilot's map light. I only turn it on long enough to make any changes, then turn it off again:
