ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue: Some internal lighting non-functional in the 1.6.13.0 release. Specifically:

1.> Cabin lighting switch now has no effect

2.> Left floodlight has no effect

3.> Centre floodlight has no effect

4.> Standby Indicators can also have no effect, but I also have seen it work.

Additionally, toggling the right landing light switch also toggles the left (but not vice versa)

FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

How often does this occur for you (Example: Just once, every time on sim load, intermittently)? Every time, other than the Standby Instruments

I haven’t opened bug reports for them yet, but I’ve noticed a few other issues like this ranging from very minor to not-so-much. Can confirm these Caravan ones and will try and make additional reports later today if no one has beaten me to it.

It’s got to be nearly as frustrating for the devs as it is for the users that so many cockpit lighting issues just cannot stay fixed.

Can replicate same lights issue.

Can replicate

For anyone who might be desperate for night lighting, if you crash the aircraft, when you respawn everything magically works once again :rofl:

For the sake of my sanity and ability to re-upgrade, can you confirm if momentarily slewing the aircraft or using the “refuel/repair” keybind does the same job?
