I had this happen in the Cessna 404 after first streamed download I should add. I also had illuminated rivets and nose cargo door rims on the outside of the aircraft. Nothing would make it turn off. No source either that I could see. Next flight a day and sim session later and it was all normal looking.
maybe related… .another mysterious light
I understand. I was wrong.
I have the same problem with my Cessna 172 Basic.
Same here. Every aircraft I fly has this bright light. It is somewhere inside the aircraft, not necessarily the cockpit. When I fly the P-51 it is somewhere in front of the firewall and the engire engine is illuminated from the inside. In other aircraft it is inside the plane somewhere and the cockpit (with no flashlight on, and the battery master is not on) has a huge, bright glare shining back into my face.
Do you have the same issue if you follow the OP’s steps to reproduce it?
• Yes, just load into a plane. Disembodied light source shining on panel and outside the plane like a nose wheel light.

ISSUE DESCRIPTION
Description of the issue: There is a weird light at night being emitted from the airframe floor visible outside and inside without power on the aircraft, and uncontrollable in aircraft/not connected to any lighting system. This was an issue before Beta, it is sporadic, and will go away after restarting the SIM. I can confirm it occurs in the King Air GTX also.

Intermittently
REPRODUCTION STEPS
Just enter a flight at night.

Source of light in PC 24 in floor in rear cabin
All lights are off yet cockpit is very bright, tough to fly at night PC24
Light shows around cockpit and on pitot tubes and under belly antenna
Source of light maybe in the 404 nose wheel well?
I was having it before joining the beta, so it’s definitely not new with the beta. It’s just not there in every flight but having it almost 1/4 of my flights. I am trying to understand what triggers it but no luck… When i spawn into an apron with a lot of lighting it’s not there though.
I had it as well before the beta but that was a while ago and thought it got patched as I haven’t seen it in over a month. I’ve done multiple flights today so far and no light…
As of today, no one identified steps to constantly reproduce the issue.
Just installed the latest Beta 1 update and cannot get rid of an annoying light smack in the middle of the insrument panel (and no, it’s not the flashlight as I can turn it on/off and still light remains). There is no obvious choice as to the source of this light.
I know that interior lighting was too dim in the early days but now, are we headed in the other direction? Any ideas?

Description of the issue:
Most, if not all, aircraft have a weird light source comparable to the flashlight that automatically turns on in the cockpit with no apparent source or way to disable. Once I load into an aircraft at night, it will start without this light but upon entering the cockpit this light will turn on within a minute or two. It is not an aircraft light or the flashlight.
This also happens when flying at night meaning this issue is not limited to situations in which I spawn directly on the ground.
If applicable, which aircraft is experiencing this issue: all
[PC Only] Did you remove all your community mods/add-ons? If yes, are you still experiencing the issue?
yes
How often does this occur for you: Every time
Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:
- start cold and dark at a ramp or in the air at night
- wait 10 seconds to 1 min
- Mysterious light should appear

ISSUE DESCRIPTION
Description of the issue:
light in cabin, NOT flash light or cabin/cockpit lights, unable to turn off, can not fly at night as this light makes it impossible to see.
Unbound ALL keybinds, still persists.
Even on when aircraft has no power.
The light looks like its comibg from under the rear seats, but it bleeds through and shows on the ground outside too.
Only noticed this after SU1 release.
Very frustrating!!!

Same Issue in the C408 Skycourier. NOT FLASHLIGHT…Cmon man. Its impossible to fly when we cant even see our instrument panel because of this bright light that is coming from nowhere.
$12,000 in my sim and Im grounded because of nonsense like this.
Wanted to enjoy a flight this evening after work, and Ive spent an hour trying to figure this out…then find this thread.
Ridiculous. Seriously…its been reported over and over. Please Fix it
