Map Lights via XML IF not working

Hi,

P3D 5.2 HF1, Q400 latest version: I wanted to trigger the map lights (Capt + FO) via the XML interface. But they don't work. According to the variables list, these two variables should control the lights:

electricsData_->control.instlight_leftmap (=88774)
electricsData_->control.instlight_rightmap (=93551)

But the switch is not reacting to these commands. Other instrument lights work as expected. There are also two Lvars:

L:Q400_LT_MAP_LEFT_LT = 0
L:Q400_LT_MAP_LEFT_SW = 0
L:Q400_LT_MAP_RIGHT_LT = 0
L:Q400_LT_MAP_RIGHT_SW = 0

If I trigger the switch by the mouse, the lights are turning on and off. But the SW Lvars are not changing.

Could anyone confirm, that these controls are not working?

    They are not simulated, since we do not have a real light effect for these lights. They are essentially bogus lights

    Hi,

    Thanks - now it's cĺear. It's a little bit misleading, that there are controls in the interface, and that they light up, if you turn them on using the mouse.

    Best regards
