Dome light not working.

Post by nojwod »

I have tried every conceivable way of getting the dome light to work but no luck.

Maybe it's not compatible with DX10 but if so it's the first time I've seen that.

I have tried using the flood option in the mini control panel, clicking the red overhead switch and then the dimmer control next to it, nothing works.

The instrument lights work, the landing light works, the fuse is in for the lighting circuit.

Is there anything else I should be looking at?

Thanks

The fuse for the overhead lights is alll the way to the right. BTW if it is blown the starter won't work either. --I found this the hard way on a dark pre-flight last night.

Hi there John.
I had an issue long before the Cherokee with the DX10 fixer. Below is from a link that was provided to me. Hope this helps.

SOLVED! (With Jeff's tip in mind)

Might be worth an entry in the FAQ. I went into Steve's DX10 Fixer Controller that comes with his program and re-scanned the lights/effects section. Now I've got the dome and red lights working perfectly.

Cheers

John

Hello,

yes I will make a FSX dx10 FAQ. Its worth noting that the effects converter should be run after each new aircraft is installed, much like how EZDOK users must run there config tool after each new addition to there sim.

thanks,
