Lights not working (Happened twice)
So I had taxied out and i was doing my runup when i noticed that the light didn't go on when i switched the supercharger to high and then i realised that the same was happening to the gear (red and green) lights. Nothing changed when i pushed them to test and the nav lights were on and fine I even tried with the gpu. I ended up saving the flight and loading it up again this fixed it but I was wondering if anyone else had this issue and if a2a knew about it.

Re: Lights not working (Happened twice)
Hello,
are you all updated, I guess this in FSX?
How are you loading the flight?
Are you using any other third party software that might change battery powers such as FSUIPC etc?
thanks,

Re: Lights not working (Happened twice)
Hi I'm in p3d v 4.4 i use ezdok 2, active sky, orbx and of course a2a . I think it's to do with v 4.4 (i didn't do a complete reinstall just the client) so i'm reinstalling my a2a stuff just incase something was overridden. I load the flight from the menu i select my plane airport and time then i load this has been fine for me so far. Thanks-He11dude also yes i'm updated

Re: Lights not working (Happened twice)
You said you had just finished taxiing.
I imagine your battery was simply empty by that time. If I remember correctly, the generator on the Mustang does not give any power until the engine goes above 1.500 RPM, which is very unlikely during taxi.
That being said, connecting the GPU should have solved that empty battery problem...

Re: Lights not working (Happened twice)
Happened again but the green gear light was on and fine so it definitely is a bug
Edit-reloading the aircraft seems to fix it and it saves it state (other than trim) so i can live with this but if it could be looked into that'd be great

Re: Lights not working (Happened twice)
Haven't been able to reproduce this one yet I'm afraid HE11DUDE04. In the latest case you mention above, are you 100% certain the supercharger switch went all the way to the high position?
If you can reproduce this issue systematically, please give us a shout.
Thanks,
Nick

Re: Lights not working (Happened twice)
Sure i think it might be to do with active skys beta for p3d v4.4 as i stopped using it and the issue appears to be goneNick - A2A wrote:Haven't been able to reproduce this one yet I'm afraid HE11DUDE04.

Re: Lights not working (Happened twice)
I've had the same problem since day one. Currently I'm on P3Dv4.5HF3 but the issue was also present whatever the version of P3D and whatever the P-51 version (Civilian or military).
-It only affects all the warning lights:
Gear Position Lights
Oil/Fuel/Generator Warning Lights
Moreover, these lights can be controlled by pressing on them and of course, no light...
The amazing thing is that from one flight to another, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
From my side, it has nothing to do with Activ Sky.
The problem is also present in P3Dv5. Yes, I know that there is no installer available for this latest version yet, but since everything else works normally, I doubt the installer will change anything about it.
-On the other hand, on the occasion of the portability to P3Dv5, if you could please have a look at this "glitch" (little), it would be nice. Thank you.
Regards,
Richard.

Re: Lights not working (Happened twice)
Just wondering if anyone has honed in on what might cause this? I did a flight today with the exact same sim set up, only difference being I had swapped out the cloud and grass textures, and I lost my warning lights too. After a flight of around 45mins with Gen on I had no greens when the gear was dropped. Have seen this happen before in the Spit sometimes where perhaps the Gear light doesn't work and thought that might be to do with battery.

Re: Lights not working (Happened twice)
Did it again this morning but fixed it by restarting scenario in default aircraft and then reloading the Mustang. My default flight is the LM default by the way but I can fix this by reloading the Stang
