Legs Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Hey everyone, I've noticed as of late the probe light on the Hornet is almost nonexistent now which makes spotting the basket at night difficult. I know i can switch to NVG's but if the sun is still out enough to flare my lens than it can be difficult. Was there something changed with the probe light? I have all my externals on and everything.

Ziptie Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Illuminated quite nicely for me today.. Should illuminate upon extension of fuel probe. Don’t think it’s dependent upon any light settings..

Martin2487 Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 That's not entirely accurate.There is, of course, no switch on the probe lighting in the cab. But on HOTAS there is an external lights switch that can turn all external lights on/off. Use this switch to turn on or off probe light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use the pinky switich on the HOTAS all the time (18C and 10C), but always have the lights on when A/A refueling - which is probably why I didn't ever notice the lack of lighting for the probe.
