Landing lights c172 and DR-400 from cvs

Postby mifi » Fri May 28, 2010 2:10 pm

Hi

I noticed that in the CVS/GIT version of the Robin DR400 and Cessna c172, the landing lights seem to be switched on permanently. I think this is distorting the view during flight, but I have not found a way to switch them off.

Am I missing something? Is there a way to switch off the landing lights?

(see enclosed screenshot)

Hey,

You can switch them off By toggle-ing /controls/switches/landing-light and /controls/switches/taxi-light from the property browser(Just Ctrl + Click them!)

Hope that Helps!

The one from DR400 aren't switchable yet.

The c172p are- just switch the right switch on the panel! :wink:

Hi,

I Tried it myself and it worked as expected. Do you use the GIT version? If not, that might explain why.

I am running the latest from git. Compiled everything yesterday morning. I checked in the DR-400. Lights remain on.
I did make a screenshot that I wanted to show you, but the board says "Sorry, the board attachment quota has been reached".

By the way, the Cessna 172 I was talking about is the Cessna 172R. The Cessna 172P is oke.

On the 172R same effect. The /controls/lighting/taxi-lights and /controls/lighting/landing-lights have no effect.

Just tried again, It works fine. Also noticed that the switches on the frontpanel do work, they are located on the right in th picture in your first post!
