Do you have the same issue if you follow the OP’s steps to reproduce it?
• Yes

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:
• The cockpit lighting is bad and not working as it should over all. The different rotary knobs for cockpit lighting won’t work. Neither does the taxi light work.

In addition the EHSI isn’t working, nor the autopilot. No way to see a track route or vor indicators.

Only thing you can do in Saab now is VFR circuits in good weather…

I totally agree. I have those issues as well.

Do you have the same issue if you follow the OP’s steps to reproduce it?
Yes, cockpit lighting is funky. Extreme bloom, can’t reference the attitude indicator at night.

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:
AP does kinda work. You can’t change the VS though, IAS does work. Zero naviation though, currently navigating with HDG mode and referencing the pink line on the EFB to get from A to B

For the CRT you can turn down the brightness and that helps a lot.
It is a little tricky to find the knob but if I remember it is a 2 function knob with the rear portion that effects the PFD. It is the knob right above the FD select button.

I am man enough to admit when I am wrong, that fixed the EFIS, thank you.

The other bug report on the Saab still has a large list of discrepancies that I am also running into. It needs a hot fix.

Carenado Saab 340 - not IFR -operable

Also the EFIS is unusuable at night. Can’t dim [image]

VS works…select VS on mode control panel, select alt you want. Then use the thumb wheel to select decent rate.

Do you have the same issue if you follow the OP’s steps to reproduce it?
• Yes. Spawned in and the bright lights almost blinded me. (sound wasn’t working too but I will make a new post for that)

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:
• I’m using a HDR monitor

But the fact that the brightness of anything else can’t be changed is a huge issue. We need to be able to change the INT lights as well (dome works) but none of these dials work as they should ether.
