Console Flood Lights and Heading knob

[LukeFF]

Two things I noticed tonight:

The "push to sync" the heading knob is reversed (it's now pull to sync)

The console flood lights are on at the beginning of every flight (originally reported as an issue with the 2020 version)

It appears to be working as intended in both LEGACY and LOCKED interaction modes. 

Please note the following is by design-

• Pushing the HDG SEL knob: 
  If HDG or HDG/S mode is NOT engaged, it synchronizes the heading in the HDG SEL window with the present aircraft heading.
  If HDG or HDG/S mode is engaged on the FMA, pushing has no effect.
   
• Pulling the HDG SEL knob:
  If HDG or HDG/S mode is NOT engaged, it engages the HDG/S mode.
  If HDG or HDG/S mode is engaged on the FMA, pulling has no effect.

Please confirm this is what you're noticing?

If not, please add a similar video of what you're seeing and include the variant & livery used.

Thanks!

You mean cold & dark upon spawning at gate?

Can you share a screenshot of what you're seeing? Just spawn at gate, head into the cockpit and immediately take a photo. Thanks!

Next to the loudspeaker knob on both sides of the cockpit, there is a 3-position switch that controls the lighting of the console. Around the time the new radio stack was released, a bug was introduced where this light is now on by default. I'll try to take a screenshot later on. 

Regarding the heading knob, yes, it was my misunderstanding.

Ah I see, reported. Thanks!
