There does not appear to be any interior area lighting or any "post" lighting for the
instruments. The light sources are not present, and the knob that would control
them is not present. Lighting is ordinarily needed for night flight. It would be nice to
portray the lighting-control knob, but even nicer to have additional control via the
keyboard and/or via a drop-down menu, since the knob would be hard to find at
night, creating a chicken-and-egg problem. Another possible workaround would be to
make the light switch and master switch permanently emissive, sacrificing a little bit
of realism for a lot of usability.
(In the real world, this chicken-and-egg problem does occur, but pilots solve it using
flashlights, which are not available in the sim.)

If post lighting and/or area lighting is too much work, making all the instruments
permanently emissive would be another usable workaround.

This bug has been fixed in CVS.

We now have a light-control knob to control the emissive lighting properties of the
instrumentation.

Can you re-test with CVS please?
