Nav/Position Lights Forced On at Hot Start

[Captain Orso]

Every aircraft I own I tested to see if the Nav or Position Lights are forced on during hot start, even though I have "Synchronize Cockpit Controls with HOTAS Controls At Mission Start" selected, and a HOTAS physical toggle switch assigned to each ON and OFF positions, and the switch set to OFF.

I am always forced to turn the lights off after spawning into the cockpit. 

Happens on the carriers and SC as well with Hornet and Harrier, although it is prohibited to use position, anti-collision, and landing lights on the decks of these ships, at all.

All these aircraft tested.
