March 1, 200818 yr Hey there,I just saw the youtube video of the MD11. It is very dark and the animated lighting in the cockpit is not very bright, which combined with the poor youtube image quality, makes it hard judge the quality. The way lighting can be changed is incredibly cool though. I have no doubt the MD11 is gonna be another breathtaking piece of PMDG engineering. It would be nice if someone could confirm if the night lighting in the cockpit in reality is a bit brighter than that, especially when light intensity is dialed up fully.Now that the video is on, hopefully we get to know more about this stunning product (very) soon.Thanks,Dirk
March 1, 200818 yr Commercial Member Dirk,This is a very early implementation of the VC lighting. We were not concerned at all with colors and brightness of lighting at this stage, the important thing was to make this functionality possible. Colors and brightness will be calibrated later, it is very easy for us to use whatever color/brightness we want (it is all determined by code), but we will spend some time to make sure this look right.
