VC-panellights always going out in default B747

I push the "L"-tab,but after less than a second the lights are going out.What can I do?Has it something to do with the use of the "Jorge Salas-panel"?

Thanks,

Hans

Download and install FSUIPC, select technical tab, look for battery section and make sure it has a "zero - 0" in the area provided. A zero will give you an infinite battery life.

I'm pretty sure that my panel isn't the cause of this, as my VC lights never go out with it. I do have FSUIPC running and have the "energizer bunny battery" option checked. :-)

If you can confirm that this happens because of my panel, I'll certainly look into it, but I really wouldn't even know where to start, to be honest. :-)

In fact it's a strange problem:

when I use the VC cockpit during nightflight,after starting up FS2002,I push the "L" tab and the lights are going on,but a second later the panellights(still the VC) are extinguished,while some light in the cockpit remains.So it's not possible to see the gauges in VC sight at night.

Is there something in the panel.cfg or aircraft.cfg that I should change?
