Noted that the Kollsman window does not move when the florescent lights are on such that only the gauges are lit - reads 29.92 inches. Works great with every other light setting. Checked under daylight conditions - found that after floros are turned on, clicking on the lens focus to switch from whole cockpit to gauge only will make the Kollsman switch as well.
First night flight (finally got some time to play with this beautiful bird). Took a bit to figure out the panel lighting deal, but once I did - WOW! Since I set the altimeter before take-off, with the regular panel lights on during run-up, it wasn't until about an hour into the flight that I needed to update the altimeter. Of course, the hands moved when the knob was turned - just the Kollsman did not. Clicked the floro from gauge to full panel and the altimeter read correctly, clicked the floro again and the readout returned to 29.92.
Flying the Mustang is way too much fun. Thanks for a great aircraft.

I noticed this a few days ago as well..
Wasn't really a showstopper for me, but definately a 100% repeatable error that should be easy to identify.
