josecolme 9 Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 As the title suggests, the landing light switches are inverted. OFF turns them on and vice versa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jake-m190 6 Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 No it is not. On any airplane ON should.... Always mean the switch points toward the nose. Off toward the tail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josecolme 9 Posted January 27, 2022 Author Share Posted January 27, 2022 Yes, I agree. What I meant is that the OFF indication is on forward most position of the switch, Which does in fact turn the lights on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrroper 1 Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 The labelling is correct ,as well as the switch direction, however the off position should be what is now the on position and the on position should move forward from that.

So Aerosoft, get a virtual avionics specialist out there, reverse the switches (rotate each switch 180 deg) and switch the wiring so OFF is dead center and ON is FWD.

Deputy Sheriffs Eric Bakker 736 Posted February 3, 2022 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted February 3, 2022 As Jake pointed out, in he real Twin Otter the landing lights switches are 'On' when they are moved forward, and 'Off' when move backward. This is correctly implemented in our Twin Otter. The position of the switches are also very close to reality. I tried to find a video of a real life Twin Otter to show this, but it is hard to see.

Deputy Sheriffs Eric Bakker 736 Posted February 4, 2022 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted February 4, 2022 Anne, one of the Twin Otter modellers, has adjusted the angle of the switches a bit, so the positions are more clear. This will be included in the next Twin Otter update and will look like this: Please login to display this image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
