TonyG Posted February 1, 2019 Posted February 1, 2019 It was functioning before the last update, anyone else notice it seems to be non-functional now? Of course I can use NVG, but I liked tanking with the light. 9800X3D, MSI 5080 , G.SKILL 64GB DDR5-6000, Win 11, MSI X870, 2/4TB nVME, Quest 3, OpenHornet Pit
Deano87 Posted February 2, 2019 Posted February 2, 2019 You have to have your external lights on for it to work it seems. But it also doesn’t seem very bright. Specially in very dark moonless nights it really doesn’t seem adiquate. Most of he baskets should be lit as well too which would help.

TonyG Posted February 2, 2019 Author Posted February 2, 2019 Before it was like a spotlight. External lights are on, and I can confirm there *is* a light on the probe from the external view, but it’s totally ineffective now. 9800X3D, MSI 5080 , G.SKILL 64GB DDR5-6000, Win 11, MSI X870, 2/4TB nVME, Quest 3, OpenHornet Pit
Nealius Posted February 2, 2019 Posted February 2, 2019 Is there no light switch for the probe light in the cockpit? I haven't been able to find one.
TonyG Posted February 2, 2019 Author Posted February 2, 2019 No, the previous logic was the light came on when the probe came out. That is the same as the procedure in the NATOPs manual. Probe light is activated when the probe is extended if the exterior lights are on. 9800X3D, MSI 5080 , G.SKILL 64GB DDR5-6000, Win 11, MSI X870, 2/4TB nVME, Quest 3, OpenHornet Pit
Biggus Posted February 2, 2019 Posted February 2, 2019 Wonder if this is related to the bug I was experiencing last week with the sudden overpowering light source appearing whenever I had position lights on and probe deployed?
wrl11 Posted February 2, 2019 Posted February 2, 2019 I was wondering why the basket would be super bright when about to connect while wearing the NVG. Never noticed the light without the NVG tough so must not be very bright. .

With external lights toggled on (switch on port side of throttle), with the fuel probe extended, the basket is still illuminated - yes. Disable external lights, switch on port side of throttle - basket illumination ceases. Has worked the same for the better part of a year at least (possibly since initial release).
