Title: Landing lights
Post by: EHM-1058 Jörg on October 22, 2005, 09:21:37 am

Hy to all Pilots, i ahve made my first flight with PP. I used the PMDG B737-800. After take-off i have got the penalty landing lights not turnd on. This is OK. Then when i descend for landing at EKCH  have turned on the landing lights by passing FL100 but i´ve got a penalty again landing lights not turned on and afterwords a other penalty for approching runway with out landing lights but i have had landing lights on. My question what should i made at the next flight??

Thanks for answers.

regards Hardy

I'm also having these problems with the landing lights myself. I have had a penalty 2 times for not having them on while I'm sure they were on.

I read somewhere that certain aircrafts (mainly payware for big jets) turn off LL at 'Gerar Up' and turn them on at 'Gear down'; can anyone confirm this pls, so I can try to find a solution?.

Tks

Armando
I can verify that the PSS Airbus series turn of LL at gear up and turn on them on at gear down, at least a penalty is awarded in each cases even when the switch is turned on.

Maybe they are switching LL instead of wheel lights as Maarten says.

I suspect that there's a (bug?) in PSS aircrafts but I'm not sure if that happens in real life, I mean, LL are connected to gear events; I'll investigate that ASAP because I have PSS.

Meanwhile, who flies PSS or other will have to live with this, because if you do not gear up above 5000ft you will get a penalty too.

Thank you all for your comments

I fly PSS A330 & 320, dont use the 340 as PSS haven't released a 600 series.
