      Since SU5 the rotary controls for panel and nav lights no longer work. I used to be able to control them with my mouse scroll wheel but that no longer works.
      I have installed the latest version of the Arrow and the latest FS2020 hot fix and my community folder was empty when installing the fS2020 hotfix.

        @vulcanb2 Hi, if you haven’t done it already, you can try to switch the cockpit control system from LOCK to LEGACY.

        With SU5 the LOCK mode is forced as default to begin with 😉

            For me the rotary controls haven't worked for a while. The only way I got them to work was to assign a switch on my throttle quad, and then they'd turn on.

              Hmm, I tried them all, Arrow III, Turbo Arrows and Warrior and for all of them I can turn these rotary controls without any issue using the mouse wheel.
              Also on legacy mode, not sure what could be the issue.

              Do you have an XBox controller attached and turned on at the time you're trying it?

                  I do have controller attached but can't remember if it was connected. It usuallyis (I onlyse for the drone). I'll try with it disconnected and also try binding them to aitch on
                  It may well be that SU5 is the cause of the problem.

                    Not sure what you're trying to say here. But SU5 is no problem for me in terms of these two rotary switches, so there needs to be some difference between how you set up your sim and how mine is set up.

                    I'd disconnect all peripherals and uninstall any other addon/mod to make sure nothing interferes.
                    If it then works, connect/install one by one to see where the conflict is.

                      @copper @vulcanb2 I have an X-box controller too and after SU5 there was a clear conflict with the 'normal' controls e.g. the mouse-look in the cockpit. See this thread - including what worked for me: https://community.justflight.com/topic/2553/issues-following-su-5

                        Problem solved.
                        I had installed a light mod for the Arrow from flightsim.to, with that installed the rotary controls work again.
                        I revisited the mod and there was a note explaining that the mod was incorporated in v 0.6.0 of the Arrow so the mod is no longer required.
                        Thanks for everyones input to help resolve my issue.
