A320X dead without Spotlights

[Peter Ward]

Hi there,

I see in the forums that A320X can be used without Spotlights. However if I remove Spotlights there is no option for me to power A320 Up from cold and dark. I don't get a light on the FMGC CDU and am so unable to bring up the various options by pressing the BRT key, so I can't even select external power, and none of the cockpit switches work either. I notice that I don't get the A320X "countdown" as it initialises.

Coukd anyone enlighten me please? It all works fine without Spotlights but I am trying to undock extra windows and this always causes a sim freeze of I do so with Spotlights present.

Thanks for any help.

Regards,

Brit
