PA38 Tomahawk radio lights not working
-
From the manual: The RADIO LIGHTS rotary knob controls the backlighting for the avionics displays (SL30, SL40 and GTX).
However, this is not working. Only the audio panel lights work. Powering on each individual radio doesn't work when the light switch is on. -
I was slowly going mad with this one.
Initially, I thought that I might be missing a font, because the radios were working, just not displaying.
That wasn't the problem
I deleted and reinstalled. Radios working fine. I closed the sim down. Later when I opened it again, they had stopped working. GTN units were working. Toggled the GTN off and back to the basic panel. Not working. Deleted and reinstalled, working. Used cockpit switcher to enable GTN, radios stopped working.
If the GTN is working the Com 2 radio should still work and the transponder, although now controlled by the GTN, but they do not display. Exit sim and set the cockpit changer back to Standard. Launch Sim, lights still not working. Delete and reinstall, leave cockpit changer at Standard, lights working.
So, as far as I can see, if you want the radios and transponder to work correctly, you must delete and reinstall and then keep the cockpit changer on Standard. You can switch to GTN but the radio and transponder lights will no work and you cannot toggle back. -
@petesmiffy I've also had this problem. Radio panels stay completely black. The only workaround i have found that fixes it is doing the auto start in the top left panel. I'll reinstall and see if that works.

If you haven't already done so, please submit a support ticket so we can investigate further - https://support.justflight.com/support/tickets/new
This isn't something we encountered in testing but it should be a simple fix once we find the cause.

That's done the trick, thank you.
One fine simulation, now. -
Original issue is corrected.
I use Reality XP products in place of Flight 1. The Reality XP GTN 650/750 works fine as popup window and as well in the virtual panel.
The Reality XP GNS 430/530 however works for the popup, but the GNS units in the virtual panel remains dark. Is there a way to correct this? -
