1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

Nav lights are labeled "Position Lights" in the 737.

You can't map a key to the navigation lights, unfortunately.

Actually that is not correct. I just found out myself. Just like in the Learjet one lightswitch has two functions. Depending on weather you flick it in VC mode or in the overheadpanel.

In the 737 the LOGO switch in the VC mode works as - the LOGO light switch, but if you bring up the overhead panel, then the LOGO switch is the - ta-daa... NAV light switch. Damn it took me forever to think that out.

But thank you all who dropped me a line here. Hope someone else who has same problem can benefit from this. 8-)

Interesting bug. I guess it's improper to assume a default FSX aircraft function anything like the real aircraft:

The position lights are a 3 position switch on the 737. Fore is position lights only, center is off, and aft is position and strobe lights.
