ISSUE DESCRIPTION
Description of the issue:
The problem is that (a) the cockpit is too bright at night and (b) the cockpit (dome) lights don’t seem to work (or the switch doesn’t seem to do anything). The plane in question is the ATR 74-600 (all variants) which is part of the Aviator edition of the game. I opened a bug report through Zen desk (I thought that was the proper way).
I found the bug source, apparently one light (LIGHT_Asobo_CabinBounce, denom. Ambient.5 (id:21)) is always on. Not only that but the mesh material is not found on a lot of the lights (image attached). I’d like to try to fix it myself but I never made a mod (or anything similar) and the SDK docs aren’t helping change a plane that is being streamed.
If applicable, which aircraft is experiencing this issue:
ATR 42-600/72-600 all variants
[PC Only] Did you remove all your community mods/add-ons? If yes, are you still experiencing the issue?

Update (06/12/2024)
I opened two bug reports and both were closed and marked as “Solved” without any justification and without actually fixing the bug. I must admit I’m a bit disappointed with this level of support.
Update (19/12/2025)
Now that we get the 2024 planes on 2020 as well I decided to try the ATR on MSFS2020 to compare the behaviour and, although the light switches seem to be working that strange light source is still there (albeit a bit less pronounced). I almost seems deliberate but it’s stupid… Anyway It’s still not fixed.
Like some comments have said this can be mitigated with this mod.
