C182 switch position not saved between flights

[Calypte]

Hi,

I've always kept my beacon light on, never turning it off between flights so that beacon turned on when master switch was flipped. Recently I noticed that my C182 loads with beacon turned off. Other switches seem to be saved between flights, but not that one.

Calypte,

Apologies, but I'm afraid a few posts have been lost in the recent forum switch over. I think the issue was ID'd but I've copied and pasted the original content below in case anyone else has a similar issue.

Hi Calypte,

Just checked, and I'm not able to reproduce this issue. In my (P3Dv4) installation, the beacon switch remains on if the aircraft is left shut down with it in this position.

Which sim platform are you using and which aircraft loads with your default flight?

Thanks,
Nick

P3D v4. C182. I'll have to check other A2A aircraft.

If you've saved the default scenario to load with the C182 Calypte, that may cause several issues.

We always recommend using a simple, default aircraft for the default flight to avoid initialisation issues.

Thanks,
Nick

It's a P3D default scenario - F-22 in Eglin.

Did some more tests. If I move camera fast enough I can see that 182 loads fine - beacon is on. Then Linda module loads and instantly beacon goes off.

I'll browse through Linda lua files and maybe there is something beacon related (I did not config this light to any button on my joystick).

Okay, thanks for the update Calypte. Good to hear that you've found the culprit.

Nick - I solved the problem At least partly. If it happens to anyone else - here's a solution:

File P3D\Modules\linda\libs\lib-fallback.lua calls:
ipc.writeUW("0D0C", 0)
(line 2076)

And this turns off all lights on aircraft whenever Linda module is reloaded. Later I noticed that it affects other aircraft too.

If it happens to anyone - deleting this line (or commenting it out with two dashes --ipc.writeUW("0D0C", 0)) solves the problem.

Thanks for responding

Thanks very much for the update and posting the solution Calypte.

Cheers,
