No external and internal lighting on the MD-11?

Support
1

Made a flight on the MD-11 yesterday, and after reaching cruise I turned on time compression. Day turned into dusk, and the MD-11 got completely dark, no inner lights nor external ones (and I mean no beacon, strobelight or nav lights). Is this an undesired bug from turning on time compression? Or is it an MD-11 thing only?

I’m running Android 14 and the latest IF version.

Have you tried refreshing or shutting off/on your device? This should help.

Did you turn on the master battery?

Is it needed with the three engines working? I thought the Master Switch was to start everything before starting the engines.

I don’t think you’re supposed to turn it off at all unless you’re putting the plane in storage.

That was it, I was thinking in terms of more modern aircraft, where you turn off the APU when the engines are running, and the lights remain on.

Thanks!
