              Hi all,

              I've just checked this in the simulator, and all lights are displaying as expected on my side. I have uploaded a couple of screenshots to the following link showing the Turbo Arrow III from the PA-28R Arrow III and PA-28R Turbo Arrow III/IV Bundle in MSFS 2024: https://justflight.sharefile.com/public/share/web-s1b9d743f5b374f6f97ff6ceeafecedd5

              With regards to aircraft lights not being visible during the day, this is sadly a limitation of how MSFS 2024 handles aircraft lighting. The lighting in all of our MSFS 2024 aircraft has been fine-tuned to have a realistic brightness level at night, which does mean that certain lights can look dim or not lit during the day. If we were to increase the brightness of the lights to make them visible during the day, then that would have the side effect of making the lights extremely bright at night. We remain hopeful that this may be something that will be improved in future MSFS Sim Updates.

              If no lighting is visible at night, I would recommend performing an uninstall/reinstall of the affected product.

              If the issue persists with a fresh install of the product, I would recommend testing this with only the PA28(s) in your Community folder and seeing if the lighting then works at night. You can rename your existing Community folder to something like "Community.old", then create a new community folder named "Community" and install the PA28(s) into it. That will allow you to revert back to the previous Community folder without having to uninstall/reinstall everything.

              If the issue then persists after the above suggestions, we would kindly ask you to raise a ticket with Just Flight Support, and a support team will be able to assist with further troubleshooting: https://www.justflight.com/support

                Hello Mark,

                ...And binding it to some interior hotspot to increse and decrease NAV Light (and others) bightness, meanwhile we wait for an update from MSFS2024? A waist of programming time maybe?
                Thanks!!
                Antonio.

                  Yes, it's a tricky balancing act between how much we "chase" workarounds for behaviours such as this when there are likely going to be changes in future MSFS Sim Updates that natively affect this behaviour. We could spend time trying to find a workaround for it, only for an MSFS Sim Update to release, rendering the workaround absolute, and then requiring even more time for us to go back and "undo" that workaround.

                  I believe there are improvements to lighting/emissive textures listed in the Sim Update 3 Beta changelogs, so at the moment, we are not planning on making any further changes to the night lighting until we see the results of these changes in the full Sim Update 3 release.
