Nav Lights penalty

[Doc3511]

Hi, first of all, ive already read the FAQ in which Dan explains how fspax light penalties work, but there is something he forgot to explain.
the NAV lights.

i know they have to be turned on the entire flight therefor they should be turned ON before starting FSPAX flight.

the problem is im using a MD80 with a default 737 panel. as you may know that panel has "no Nav light Switch"

solved the issue by going to the [LIGHTS] section of aircraft.cfg and changing the NAV LIGHT number (3) to panel light number (4), now
the NAV lights are turned on by pressing the panel light switch just as the default 737. so far everything is prefect you might say, but
nope... FSPAX doesnt recognize the Nav lights and it says i didnt turn them on...

default 737-800 doesnt have nav lights either (in aircraft.cfg the nav lights are in type 4 (panel)), nevertheless fspax knows when you turn
them on by pressing the panel light switch.


why cant i make it work with the MD?

everything else regarding the lights penalties works perfectly.

Hey Doc,

What about using the L keyboard command to turn all lights on. As a workaround anyway, you could push L to turn on all the lights and then manually
turn off whichever lights you want prior to starting the flight and then start FSPax. Have you tried it this way?
