This dimming feature is a well known IFR practical test trap: if for some reason you have your instrument lighting switched on in daylight, the dimming of the undercarriage lights will make them unnoticeable even if the U/C is up...the tester will not forget that one!"

You make it sound as if ALL aircraft have the landing-gear lights dimmed whenever the instrument-lights are turned on. This is not a fact. You are wrong. If this is so obviously wrong as you say, why do you claim this to be a fact... ???

Maybe its just before start engine on the ground, light open for the start up ? ?


I remember a game long time ago, if you passed near enemy airfield , they will send some aircraft to intercep you, its will be so must if for free flight in SOW , some air activity will be there in the airspace and on the ground. Its is planed ?

Sry for the english by the way, hope you could understand my ideas

P.S. Nice up date Oleg
