landing lights

EHM-2131 Bruce:
Has any one else been hit by the 170 point penalty for not having landing lights on, l got this amount for not having my landing lights on as l passed FL100, as it was a short flight; 50Nm l did not go above 5000ft!!, the lights were on all the time from take off, is this a bug in the logger or am i reading things wrong. Bruce  :>

EHM-2155 Mariano:
Hmm what aircraft was it? Theres one of the Airbuses that turns the light off automatically when raising the gear, but i doubt you'd use that for a short flight... Could you have pressed something in your keyboard by mistake?

EHM-2029 Sotiris:
I can also concur that this a first for me.
I knew about a payware's 747 having LL problems but never on small planes.

As Mariano said, are you positive you didn't accidentally trigger anything?

EHM-2131 Bruce:
Thanks for your reply, the plane was a beechcraft 1900, as far as i know nothing was changed, this has happend before on a donnier, i am flying the Beechcraft tomorrow so will see what happens

EHM-2029 Sotiris:
Bruce,

as another tip you can go into FS's options on Key Assignments and look at the lights. See which keys are specified (usually 'L') and change it to something harder to accidentally press (Alt-L for example).

Browse through the rest of the light switches and do this accordingly. It is very easy to accidentally switch them, not to mention accidentally clicking just a little to the left or right and hitting the lights by mistake. (Actually clicking the lights in error is far less dramatic than clicking on a power supplu or worse still, gear extention)

Don't forget, it only takes a split second and FLLogger will record it.
Let us know how it goes.
