ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue:
When skipping to the descent phase for example, you get dinged (sometimes right away) for not having your landing light on, because the sim automatically turns it off even if you’ve had it on beforehand in the flight.

Even with a Honeycomb yoke with the landing light switch turned on all the time, you have to recycle it to turn it back on in the sim after it automatically turns it off.

If applicable, which aircraft is experiencing this issue:
PC-12 Medevac Mission

Do you have the same issue if you follow the OP’s steps to reproduce it?
• Yes. Fly medium cargo missions with PC-12, and all of these missions are at night.
Contact arrival airport and receive landing lights penalty, even you are above FL100.

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:
• Sometimes it seems to check taxi light to decide whether getting a landing lights penalty. Also, sometimes I turned on all taxi lights, landing lights and recognition lights (which seems to be the landing lights installed on the wings) and get a landing lights penalty.
The landing lights of PC-12 and PC-24 seems to be installed on landing gears.

I had the taxi/landing lights on the whole flights but still got dinged because the gear was retracted. Landing lights are not considered on unless the gear is also lowered.

•I’ve noticed the same. For me it occurs with the landing gear up - if the PC12 is modelled correctly the landing light will automatically switch off with the landing gear retracted. That’s what happens on the actual aircraft. Funny that this wasn’t picked up.
