I am currently constructing a 767-400 simulator in my home using the PIC767 software. I have managed to disect the gauges and placed them at various positions with CFGedit using multi monitors and a matrox video card. My work is almost complete with one exception. PIC disables all panel lights upon startup. This is very annoying and causes some gauges to be dimmed, i.e. ADF and Standby Attitude indicator I snagged from the B747-400. Is there a away to enable panel lights. I have tried to edit aircraft.cfg file and the panel lights lumination color but it comes on at startup of the PIC panel then quickly disables. :-mad Please help! :-lol Harry MakonnenFlight Solutions

Hi Harry,The PIC panel uses it's own lighting via it's own gauges. I've tried adding the same lighting code as the default 747 to the PIC panel cfg and also added the panel light switch from the default 747 to no avail. I even disabled the PIC white light gauge in the panel cfg and still nothing. This is the problem when lighting effects are created for a specific panel. The Dreamfleet 737 panel as well as many others do the same thing. The up side is the lighting effect realism is much better than the FS2002 default lighting and the down side is, it makes it very difficult to add seperate gauges to these panels. I have a program that allows me to open up gauge files and it is there that you can see how the panel lighting is done, basically there is one or more duplicates of the main panel bmp with various shades of night lighting that is all part of a large gauge. I wish I had better news for you, but I think you would need to extensively modify the PIC panel in order to get a uniform lighting effect on the panel and all foreign gauges to be backlit properly.Regards,http://www.yeodesigns.com/signatures/yeode...nner-van2-1.jpg[/img][/url]
