SUMMARY
=======

Flight Simulator 5.0 may not automatically turn on the landing light when Set
Time Of Day is set to Dusk, Night, or Dawn.

MORE INFORMATION
================

When Set Time Of Day is set to Dusk, Night, or Dawn, Flight Simulator should
automatically turn on the instrument lights and all exterior lights; however,
sometimes it will not turn on the landing light. To force Flight Simulator to
turn on the landing light, press the L key twice. This will turn the lights off
and on again and will activate the landing light.

Steps to Reproduce Problem
--------------------------

1. Start Flight Simulator 5.0.

2. From the World menu, click Set Time And Season.

3. Change the time to Night.

NOTE: Instrument panel lights are on but the landing light is not.
