Can`t turn on position lights !

[ex81]

Hello,

I don`t use HOTAS. I`m flying with an old Cyborg 3D. My problem is:

I can`t turn on position lights using the clickable A-10 C cockpit.

I know that there is that lights panel and turning on console lights and dimming works just fine. But whatever I try, can`t get the position lights to work.

There must be some kind of key stroke. Please help.

default is left control p and left shift p.

The pinkie switch can override light settings. Could be it's in the off position.

Lighting Control Panel

This panel is located in the rear area of the right console and is your primary means of controlling external and internal aircraft lighting. The top portion of the panel is dedicated to external lighting and the bottom portion is used for internal, cockpit lighting.

It is important to note that the Master Exterior Light Switch setting (Pinky Switch on HOTAS) on the left throttle may override panel settings.

 Pinky Switch Forward: Sets external lights to default settings.

o Retains set illumination levels for formation lights, nose floodlights, and nacelle floodlights.

o Position lights set to steady.

o Disables anti-collision lights.

 Pinky Switch Center: Turns off all external lights.

 Pinky Switch Aft: Lights are according to Lighting Control Panel settings.
