Hi - having read your reply, I went to check again - the individual instrument lights in the virtual 3-D cockpit can indeed be made to work BUT: they go OUT when the airnav lights switched are on - just discovered this.

Perhaps it's system related?

Regarding altitude in meters, I'd be happy to have the same problems a real MiG pilot might.... it's just more realism ... but don't want to have to change the comp settings each time. Thanks for the suggestion, though!
