Is there anyway of setting a hotkey for the aircraft lights? The strobes and landing lights are easy, but what about taxi, nav, bcn. I have never been able to find something that will allow me to set them.

Press L.  Or you can turn them on in the aircraft

so there isn't a way to get just things like taxi lights to come on when i push a button or a key?

Go to your settings>controls>and you should see a list of there where the buttons and controls are. Mind the taxi light switch and make a keyboard or joystick assignment.

Blackace, the problem is not all individual light types are available in the control assignment list.

Smeely,

For those events that do not show up for assignment in the Settings>Controls window......

..I have by manually editing the 'standard.xml' file that stores the key/button/axis assignments. The file is stored in the same location as your fsx.cfg file, in the Controls sub-folder. Back up the file before editing so you don't lose your current assignments should your editing efforts 'go south'.

I have assigned my electrical and light switches to the numpad keys, as I don't use them otherwise in 'normal mode'.

Thankyou dave3cu

This is what I was looking for... now to find those files... not quite sure where I have them stored on my system, but I will find them sometime
