Brief description of the issue:

On the TBM-930 Autopilot-pilot panel (GMC-710), the buttons are no longer illuminated since SU12. I have tried switching on and off the cabin and dimmer controls on the overhead panel without positive effect. Appears to be isolated to this set of buttons on the AP panel.

No

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:

Can not duplicate issue with default or with 4simmers liveries, but did not try every 4simmers livery. I’m on 1.34.15.0 but do not recall any issues with the AP button lights in any previous builds. All button vertical side light bars illuminate when associated button is in the on position. The lettering on the button itself is not backlit.

I tried to replicate the issue in both the beta (.14 and .15) as well as the latest non-beta 1.33.8.0 version and had no issue with the buttons.

Same as CCRB’s shots.

Thank you for replying. With respect I believe the buttons are normally backlit. I have screenshots showing it. I’ll see if I can upload the files.

Possibly one of the much earlier mods or enhancements that many folks used prior to AAU1/2 had a light enhancement to backlit those buttons?? I don’t remember those ever being backlit in the default 930, but I’d love to be wrong! I think it would be nice if they were backlit.

P.S. Apparently the real units are automatically backlit based on the light sensed from the small sensor just below the “XFR” button. But again, I don’t remember that being simulated for that unit in MSFS.
