Various aircraft: moving head away from some button lights makes them disappear

ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue:
Head tracking user. Moving my head backwards, farther from the communications control panel, causes the Com lights to go off. In a G1000-equiped aircraft, I mean the lights between the two displays, for Com 1 Mic, Com 1, Com 2 Mic, Com 2, Com 3 Mic, Com 3, Com 1/2, and Tel. It affects other lights, too, like PA, SPKR, etc.

If applicable, which aircraft is experiencing this issue:
C172, C208B, C400, could be a lot more, but I haven’t the inclination to test every plane. I did check the Pilatus PC-12 and it is NOT affected.

good catch. I think this is related to the draw distance “Range” parameter of the lights FX file that is used by those buttons/lights etc. One of the many graphics optimizations that trade one thing for another. Hope its fixed or improved!
