Yes same here, because the LOD on the DHC-2 Beaver is still broken.

Just flew it again after many months, because once upon a time it was a good aircraft… and searched the forum to report the still existing instrument LOD issue on the plane:

broken (button lights NAV etc., are actually ON):

LOD 1
LOD 1528Ă—160 14.4 KB

moving the camera slightly closer, the button lights appear as they should:

LOD 2
LOD 2598Ă—190 20 KB

Edit: just noticed you can also see the broken LOD on the screw heads above the instrument
