Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:
• And now, today, the displays are illuminated. How can this be? Is it due to the reinstallation of the sim I performed yesterday morning? This inconsistency is difficult to make sense of and/or track.

I also experienced this, many “bugs” are just not reproducable consistently. On one sim start 90% of my aircraft disappeared, next time they were back again.

It seems we must wait for them to make the sim much more stable before we can tell if something is a bug or not.

That or the issue here is some weird streaming thing.

I’ve seen reports of people switching to external view and then back to cockpit view and the instrument panel and interior textures aren’t there any longer and have to be streamed in.

In my case, I’d been sitting in the cockpit on the ground with plenty of time for the aircraft to have been loaded.

This sort of thing makes me throw my hands up.
