happens to me too
the interior lights seem to be coupled to the hour of day in a way that i don’t understand
they seem to dim when its daylight, but if its twilight they dont work

• Yes.

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:
• It happens to every plane that I’ve flown in Career Mode. If it is during the ‘day’ - no matter how dark the sky is due to weather - the instrument/panel lights do not work.

Specifically seen on: 172, C208, Vision Jet, PC-12

Nope, I filed a bug report on this easlier and at least you got a response. Almost none of the lighting works right. At least the cuicuit breaker works. They need to systematically debug this popular aircraft.

Hi, put in a bug a while ago on this. Lights need to be systematically debugged.

There are multiple planes with the same issue - the fa18 Hornet is another one that comes to mind.

not just interior lights, exterior lights as well seem to be tied to time of day.

The problem still exists and Update 1.2.8.0 hasn’t improved anything.

It actually just got worse for me after the most recent update. I don’t have any interior lighting on most of my aircraft during the day.
