What controllers are you using?
Any lights mapped to their buttons or switches, either default or something you’ve done?

Hi.
I have Alpha and Bravo Honeycombs and Saitek pedals.
No switches on the Honeycombs have any external lights assigned to them, as I fly in VR. I have a Reverb G2 set, but don’t use the controllers.
I manipulate the cockpit with the mouse.
This started with the one before last update and only affects the Asobo/default (all!) aircraft.
Regards
Roberto

Glen, I have a big thank you for you.
It had never occurred to me, that an update to the sim, might completely re-assign (on its own) buttons to functions.
After reading your response, I went back and looked again at the settings of the Honeycomb Alpha and Bravo and, sure enough, all the lights that were not working, had been self-assigned to switches on the Alpha in the last ()SU12 I believe) sim update. Big lesson learned.
I deleted them all and now I can enjoy the Asobo aircraft as well.
Many thanks again
Roberto
