[ ] Starter Switch - OFF
[ ] Beacon, Navigation Lights and Strobe Lights - ON as required
Note: To set light switches in proper setting, due to start up defaults with FS2002, enter the cockpit and flip the three light switches (Nav, Beacon, Strobe) to the "On" position. Cycle the "L" key a few times and leave in the on condition. The cockpit light switches are now in the proper orientation and it should not be necessary to use the "L" key any more. Unfortunately, this process will have to be repeated every time you start up FS2002.
