Hello,
I have noticed some things around Bonanza lighting, while playing last night with the plane lights:
1) Subpanel Flood light knob, when going "On" and "Off", doesn't seem to change or illuminate anything.
2) Taxi and Landing lights - flicker several times when turned On before stabilizing and when switched Off, flicker again before they die out.
Platform: FSX Standard (Boxed) with Acceleration
Bonanza, configured with "Default Lights" from configurator
These two caught my attention so far, I will report more, if I find any other.
Cheerz,
Vladimir

Re: Bonanza lighting in FSX
Can you check the overhead dome light on the ceiling to the right of the pilot? I've noticed none of the flood lights on the FSX version seem to have any effect. I'm sure it's not a problem with the electrical system as far as simulation is concerned, as turning on the dome light will change the texture of the light itself, but won't illuminate anything.

Hi EnDSchultz,
The overhead dome light has a knob right next to it, and appears to work fine along with the two separate lights in the back of the aircraft.

Re: Bonanza lighting in FSX
Okay, thanks for checking, must be something else on my end, then.
As for the instrument lights, make sure to check your breakers VERY regularly for any system faults until A2A releases a patch, since breakers are tripping a lot more often than they should. The instrument flood lights are on the top row of the breaker panel, middle of the "lights" section.

I'll add to this- It is not lighting up my sub-panel either, and also not lighting up the radio stack other than the actual buttons on the ADF and audio panel.

Re: Bonanza lighting in FSX
Hi guys,
In FSX, the panel lighting controls consist of the instrument and radio lighting (the two upper thumb wheels,) and a red flood light that can be activated with the left thumb wheel below those. The tech used in the P3D version for the flood lighting was not compatible with FSX, so the subpanel flood thumb wheel currently doesn't have any lighting. The guys are looking at adjusting this a bit in FSX so it's more clear (possibly removing the click spot and/or tooltip - but I can't say for sure yet.) Thanks!

Thank you for shedding light on those questions! It makes much more sense now. I hope the external taxi and landing light flicker is also being checked since they look very unnatural when turned On or Off.

Re: Bonanza lighting in FSX
"shedding light" on the questions? Sorry, couldn't resist!
I expected that none of the main cabin lights would work in the FSX version, but so far I can't even get the red panel light to work. Only the instrument/avionics backlight wheels work.

Hi EnDSchultz,
I was inspired, what can I say. A2A team are the best, I was astonished once again after major release how fast responsive and helpful they are.
FSX and P3D light modeling in the V35 are quite different. The main internal lights in P3D are like in the promo video - spot lights, developed in the 64bit environment of Prepar3d v4.3. FSX version has a standard white plafon above the pilot seat.
Did you try the left thumb button below instrument light knob, like Molly - A2A suggested? I have red light in FSX (boxed).
Have in mind, it is only distinguishable at night you wont be able to see it during day.
Cheerz,
Vladimir

Re: Bonanza lighting in FSX
Hi Molly.
If the lower right flood light does not work in FSXA/SE why not just put an inop sticker next to it , just a thought.

Re: Bonanza lighting in FSX
So, to be clear, neither the glare shield lights or the subpanel lights work in FSX ?
( I realize a red cabin light has been substituted for one of them in FSX)

Jeff

As Molly explained in her post here, the subpanel light, presented in P3Dv4 is incompatible with FSX platform.

Re: Bonanza lighting in FSX
The A2A C172 and C182 have both excellent panel flood lights in FSX. So it would certainly be possible to have this for the Bonanza as well.Molly - A2A wrote:The tech used in the P3D version for the flood lighting was not compatible with FSX, so the subpanel flood thumb wheel currently doesn't have any lighting.

I agree with you Tim on the Cessnas, but they also don't have managed gauges. We do not know, if these can be squeezed together and if the FSX resources would allow it.

Re: Bonanza lighting in FSX
Hello,
I have found this Bonanza V35B "take off" video, which brought me back to my original question for the landing and taxi lights.
The landing light on this plane keeps turning on and and off on the back track, where in the sim FSX it turns on and off 3 times before remaining stable. Is this normal is my question?
