I seem to have a problem with the landing & navigation lights on my 737-800.

When i try to turn the landing lights on on the overhead console the switch has to be in the up/off position for them to work. Does anyone else have this problem on the 737 or is it a glitch in my installation etc?

Also even though i turn all the light switches to on i have lost my green and red navigation lights on the wingtips of the 737. I've tried all the switches on the overhead console switching them in all dirctions but still can't get them back.

Any ideas guys?

Dave

Same here, don't know if a fix exists.

If you want all the lights ON incl. NAV, hit L on your keyboard (toggle ON/OFF).
Also experiment with Ctrl+L (toggle) for Landing Lights only.

I think I just saw the light 😳 ...now that scares me 😀

You 7ECA-Captain and Accelor (see the other post you replied to) seem to be working from the VC, whereas Fitzy71 and I are looking at the panel view (2D).

Just tried the light switches in the 738 in VC and yes they work. In panel view however they're just cosmetic.
