DCS A10C Warthog navigation lights

[fievel]

Hi,

I can not turn the navigation lights from panel when I start the mission from start up, but the lights work when the mission began to take off. Can you help?

thanks

you need to make sure the pinky switch on the throttle is set to its 'aft' position. (LCTRL + P) then you can manually set the lights. It mid position is 'all lights off' and forward is 'default lights'

Do the default lights include the strobes?

[Eddie]

No. Default lights are nav lights (steady, bright) with nacelle/nose lights brightness as per panel iirc, but check the manual (A-10A -1) to be sure, I'm a little rusty at the moment.

Lubrication is the key my friend.

Do you have either your APU with gen, or engines with generators running?

I.e. you need to follow the startup checklist, sounds like you havent....

Indeed, but sadly my current location prevents such things :(. Still only 4 weeks and I'm back home with a shiny TM:WH and A-10C to play with.:joystick:

Hi Frogfoot

 

I`ve tried all the combinations to get the naviation lights working. The only light I can get to come on is the one behind the cockpit.

 

Please advise the procedure for turning on navigation lights. I know that you have to use CTRL L with either HOTAS Pinky switch AFT FWD or CENTRE - PLshift seems to turn a single white navigation light on, then turns off with P LALT or pinky switch FWD. How do I get all the navigation lights / nose light to work ?

Does anyone know what the binding [Navigation Lights] does? The "NAV" lights are controlled by the Position light switches.

I have all the lights covered with bindings but I keep on finding this one in the list and see no change anywhere when I press it. Nor do I find any reference to it in the manual.

[RCtrl + L] is the keyboard binding

I don't think it doesn't do nothing. I don't think it does anything.
