    The Nav Light and Panel Lights thumbwheels seem to be crossed somehow.

    If I set a button for Nav Light ON, and another button for Nav Light OFF, the Nav Light thumbwheel does not rotate.

    However if I set the same buttons for Panel Lights ON, and for Panel Lights OFF, both Nav Light and Panel Lights thumbwheels rotate.

    The navigation light rocker switch in the PA28 also controls the radio (avionics) lighting when rotated beyond the first detent. Therefore the nav light assignment will move the rocker switch between the off and first detent (switching on/off the nav lights) and the panel light assignment will move that same rocker switch to the max detent (switching the radio lighting full off/on), as well as doing the same for the panel lighting rocker switch.

    @martyn The thumbwheels were working as expected when using the mouse, however they were working as described when using buttons. But the issue is no longer present after the recent update.
