It's possible the landing gear indicator light breaker has tripped. It's just under the battery master switch.

Also, when the nav lights are switched on, the landing gear indicator lights are automatically dimmed. This makes the green light pretty hard to see if you use the nav lights during daytime.

Cheers,
Nick

P.S. Reinstalling can sometimes cause issues if you then try to re-run the Accu-Sim update. Which sim platform are you using?

Glad it was a quick fix. :) Yeah, definitely worth running your hand (or mouse) along the line of breakers to check them before each flight. I'm not sure what triggers them to trip - perhaps it's just a random event.

P.S. Unless you've got the P3D v.4 version of the Comanche, as you've reinstalled, you should delete the 'update' folder in the 'A2A/Comache250' directory in your host sim's main folder, then re-run the Accu-Sim update.

Thanks again Nick and I am using p3d v4, since I have you here would you happen to know why my repaints are not showing? I have the 172 installed and they work fine, could it be because of p3d v4?

It's not a program defect, it's a feature.

For the repaints, double check the cfg as v4 has a slight change so you want to replicate the out the box cfg and then add in the repaint folder.

thanks,
Lewis
