    Hi,
    I've flown the latest version of the warrior for a few hours now in MSFS 2024 and found two issues that seem to crop up repeatedly.

    1. The fuel selector seems to switch from the right tank to the left tank on its own after about 20 minutes of flight. Also seems to be triggered (more frequently) when switching from external camera view to internal cockpit view. Another weird thing is if you enable 2X time compression the fuel selector will after a while be essentially be stuck on the left tank - when you try to move the selector to the right tank the switch moves slightly before snapping back (the fuel pressure drops slightly when the selector moves off the left tank). It resolves once you disable time compression.

    2. The external lights - Beacon and Nav lights do not come on at all and cannot see them even in complete darkness - maybe I'm doing something wrong (This also seems to be an issue with the Turbo Arrow IV). The landing light works fine.

    Other than that its fun to fly around low and slow and land on the shorter strips 🙂

      Thanks for the feedback. I'll post replies to each of your points below:

      1. This is expected behaviour when the "Auto Fuel Selector" is enabled on the EFB. With this option enabled, the fuel selector will automatically switch between tanks at regular intervals to maintain fuel balance. Disabling this option will disable the auto-switching logic.

      2. 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.

      Hope that helps.

        Oh wow - I totally missed the fuel auto-switch option in the EFB 🤦♂

        Thanks for following up - will wait an see if the lights come good with the next few MSFS updates.
