  • Special Server Maintenance

    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

Who turned off the lights

This happened a time or two before but I just can't remember how to fix it. I've got a helicopter that used to have working lights but now only the VC light does. I reinstalled from the original zip without helping. The actual FX files are still there and work on other aircraft. I'd rather it not be a special night-ops bird.
 
Did you try resetting your default flight to a stock Cessna?
Long shot, but it's possible one of your addon aircraft has made a strange configuration on the electrics bus, which you are "inheriting"
 
Another long shot here but make sure your master switch is "On." Using the quick start doesn't set the master switch to on in any of my helos. That drove me crazy for a while until someone suggested that. Worth a shot if you haven't tried it.

Good luck,
Duckie
 
For anyone else that this happens to you should try loading a known working aircraft as the default. Some setting in another aircraft I had up as the default carried over to my MD500E killing the lights.
 
Glad you got sorted, there are several addon aircraft that have this effect, unfortunately.
Some panels have other strange effects - I have an A319 version that changes my 5.1 speaker setup to 2 (stereo) !
