Minor issue: Hurricane II landing lights (re: C-47A)

[Avimimus]

I noticed that the C-47A has two functional landing lights. If the code has been updated to allow landing lights on each wing, it might be possible to extend the feature to the Hurricane II (currently only one of the landing lights is functional).

That's because the C-47 has two separate landing light switches. The Hurricane has a single landing light switch can only be set to one light at a time.

 

So, no, it's not an issue. ?

So, historically the other light was only a backup light? Wow!

 

Thanks for the reply btw. This is one of several cases I was sure something was a bug but it was actually a feature... someone really needs to keep a list of these details!

No problem! Yep, it was called a "bell" landing light switch, due to it looking like the bell at a service desk. In the center position both lights would be off, and then moving the switch in either direction would turn on one of the two landing lights:
