All Aircraft lights, including cabin lighting and navigation monitors, turn off midflight

Hello fellow simmers!

So this is an issue I have been experiencing for a while, but I was hoping it would get resolved by the updates. Unfortunately, a solution never came.

Basically what is happening is that almost every time I’m out there flying my Beechcraft Super King Air, all lights turn off midflight for no apparent reason, including the monitors, making it almost impossible to continue with the flight. Interestingly the plane can still be flown, but naturally the experience is much different, not to mention that flying at night is just impossible.

I must mention that this is something that has happened to me with other airplanes as well, but with the Beechcraft Super King Air it just seems to be a recurring problem.

I was ready to tell you that this always happened whenever I switched between external and cabin views, but this morning, for the first time, that was not necessary. All the monitors and lights were turned off without doing so.

At this point I’m at a loss. I have tried everything but I still don’t know how to address this very annoying issue.

If it helps, I’m using the Honeycomb setup for my flights and I play the game on my PC.

I hope some of you can shed light on this! Thank you!

Are you really sure the generators are on? An aircraft will lose power fairly quickly if they aren’t.

To the OP: and also check your controller assignments, it could be those are not being switched on and/or they are not actually configured and you are using them and not switching the generators on. Whatever it is it does sound like they are switched on or staying on.

Thanks guys. I will check the generators out

So guys I could not resolve the problem so I’d like to share with you all some additional information.

First you can see in these pictures that the generators are running:

Also I would like to share a video so you can see for yourselves how this little problem unveils itself:

Note that I DID NOT click on anything. I was simply switching views.
