Friends,

It is me again  ;)

After got a valuable lesson from Ashar (thanks, mate) all about lightings, I just discovered that my B737-400 FS9 default aircraft does not have taxi light switch. Is this correct or only me?

What should I do during taxi? Should I use Landing Lights to replace?

Thanks

Sorry, for this very basic stupid question..

Yes, the default 737 panel does not include a taxi-lights switch...But the model itself does have taxi lights...The only work around is to hit L and then turn off all the spare lights...

There might be a panel fix that adds the switch, but I'm not too sure where I can find it

Ah, OK....
Understood...

Thanks, again...

This would be a easy fix if you had FSPANEL STUIDO.

...mmm...the model does indeed include taxi lights and you could "borrow" a switch from one of the other defaults or probably any plane which has a suitable switch..........

  Here's the method....this one is from the King Air......here then is the switch added to the panel.cfg of the B 737-400. Just the bottom line of this text will put the switch on the over head panel.....not too elegant I must admit but you could place it on the main panel where it was more appropriate or find a nicer one from somewhere. I just did this in a couple of minutes to prove the model does have taxi lights...........and it DOES work independently from the landing lights....commoner

..UPDATE.....actually the Beech Baron switch is neater and is quite acceptable in my view....

 add this line instead for gauge 09
