Flight Simulator 2002: Landing Lights Are Not Visible from the Cockpit, and the Virtual Cockpit Is Not Available (320196)

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2002
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2002 Professional Edition

This article was previously published under Q320196

SYMPTOMS

While you fly any of the following planes in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2002, the landing lights are not visible from the cockpit, and the virtual cockpit is not available:

Mooney Bravo
Learjet 45
Schweizer 2-32 Sailplane
Sopwith Camel
Cessna 182RG

While you fly the Extra 300S stunt plane, no landing lights are available. (The virtual cockpit is available.)

CAUSE

Not all the planes in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2002 have virtual cockpits or the ability to let you see the landing lights from the cockpit. These are new features in Flight Simulator 2002. The planes in the list in the "Symptoms" section of this article have not been updated to include these new features.

NOTE: The Extra 300S stunt plane has no landing lights because the actual (or "real-world") plane has no landing lights.

RESOLUTION

To fly with landing lights, do either of the following:

Switch to a spot plane view, from which you can see the landing lights.
Select a different plane. Planes that are not mentioned in the "Symptoms" section of this article have landing lights that are visible from the cockpit.

To fly with a virtual cockpit, select a plane that is not on the list in the "Symptoms" section of this article.
