In the 'aircraft.cfg' file make the following change and the lighting will be a little darker.Put to forward slashes in front of the 'light.7' line as shown.[LIGHTS]//Types: 1=beacon, 2=strobe, 3=navigation, 4=cockpit, 5=landinglight.0 = 3, -24.20, -56.60, 3.90, fx_navredm ,light.1 = 3, -24.20, 56.60, 3.90, fx_navgrem ,light.2 = 2, -71.32, 0.00, 5.92, fx_strobeh ,light.3 = 2, -25.00, -57.20, 4.20, fx_strobe ,light.4 = 2, -25.00, 57.20, 4.20, fx_strobe ,light.5 = 2, -7.55, 0.00, -5.50, fx_beaconb ,light.6 = 1, 2.00, 0.00, 8.70, fx_beaconh ,//light.7 = 4, 47.60, 0.00, 3.00, fx_vclighth ,light.8 = 3, -29.50, -56.60, 3.70, fx_navwhih ,light.9 = 3, -29.50, 56.60, 3.70, fx_navwhih ,

Alternatively, modify the entry to remove the "h" (high-intensity) so you are using the normal intensity version:light.7 = 4, 47.60, 0.00, 3.00, fx_vclight

Alternatively, modify the entry to remove the "h" (high-intensity) so you are using the normal intensity version:light.7 = 4, 47.60, 0.00, 3.00, fx_vclight

That doesn't eliminate the dual lighting. Best to remove the line.

I went a step further recently and edited the VC bitmaps in Photoshop using a free Nvidia DDS plugin. I turned down the brightness and adjusted contrast and saved the dds files. Now my 738 VC is much darker and softer, looks great.

Fantastic! Care to share the file?

Hello Guys,Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge :( Have to try and be back soon for other questions/topics :( Have a good one.Cheers,

Don't really want to hi-jack this thread, but I've got a problem with the FSX default 737 virtual cockpit. Whilst all the gauges show up fine they're all set in a black background instead the normal grey textured finish. I seem to recall reading about this problem before, but I can't locate the thread.Can anyone advise please.

Do you have both model files in the aircraft's model directory?Do you have this file '737-800_panel_background.bmp' in the aircraft's panel directory? There should be six bmps and a cab file in the aircraft's panel directory.

Hey,Are u sure McCrash ?I got 5 Bmp, the Cab and 1 Cfg, that's all ?What do you mean by: "Do you have both model files in the aircraft's model directory" ?Cheers,

Hi McCrashI've got both the model files in the model directory, but I've only got five bmps and the cab file in the panel directory, together with the panel.cfg file and a thumbnail.'737_800.cab''737-800_panel_background.bmp''737-800_panel_background_night.bmp''737_compass''737_panel_decals_2.bmp''upper_640.bmp'Looks like I'm one bmp short.

I can certainly share my bmp's, pm your email add. Be happy to.Max.
