Taxi light automatically switching to on

[Curious31]

Hi,

On many occasions the taxi/landing light automatically switches on after landing gear is selected down. If I force it off, it comes back on a few seconds after.
Seen during the training landing mission and during a basic TE.
Checked my warthog config : it does not generate any unexpected keystroke.

Is it a new behaviour in 4.33 that I missed in the excellent doc provided ? Or a bug ?

Any idea ?

Many thanks to all of you involved in BMS development and forum animation.

EDIT : it seems linked to the runway lights being switched on by ATC when I request Autonomous Approach. When the runway lights are on, my aircraft landing light switch moves to ON. When the runway lights are off, my aircraft landing light switch accepts to stay OFF. Seems to be a bug !

Can I just confirm this and bump it. The landing/taxi lights automatically switch to on when the gear is down and ATC are expecting you…… It removes the need for a check and a mouseclick - the procedural geek in me is having issues with that. Can this really minor fix make it into the next patch? Cheers.

I actually love this. Obviously I am less of a geek. But I know what you mean!
