DOWN&LOCKED lamp

Post by rycesz »

Hi. In P3D V5 HF2 I've just noticed that when switching on Nav lights the landing gear lamp gets switched off. And when the Nav light is switched off the down & locked is iluminated.

Hello,

The landing gear indicator lamps aren't switched off completely when the nav lights are on, but they are dimmed. The logic behind this is to prevent the lights dazzling the pilot when flying at night. This means it's pretty difficult to tell which of the 2 lamps is lit if there's direct sunlight on that part of the cockpit and you have your nav lights on. If you need to verify you could always kill the nav lights for a moment.

Thanks,
Nick
