The automatic switch to the _night suffixed bitmaps was introduced in FSX. It will not work in FS9.

ah i understandso have you any idea how can i do it in fs9?thanks in advance

I don't have a clue if it would work, but, you could try making it/them a gauge, triggered by time of day and even have 3 phases if you wanted;

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><Gauge Name="Day-Night_Panel" Version="1.0">  <Element>    <Select>      <Value>(E:Time of Day,enum) 1 > </Value>      <Case Value="0">        <Image Name="Day.bmp" Luminous="no" Transparent="True" />      </Case>      <Case Value="1">        <Image Name="Night.bmp" Luminous="no" Transparent="True" />      </Case>    </Select>  </Element></Gauge>

I'm sure it would have to be the first gauge in panel.cfg and the [window00] would have to look like this;

[Window00]Background_color=0,0,0 size_mm=1280,1024 //or whatever resolution the panel is set up forwindow_size_ratio=1.000......gauge00=FolderName!Day-Night_Panel, 0,0,1280,1024

Have fun trying...Happy New Year...Don

That should work... Have you ever examined the actual results from the Time of Day variable? It seems to be "broken" as all I've ever been able to get from it is either Day or NotDay... :)

No I haven't Bill, I have done the same as you "Day" or "Day !" so far I haven't had the need to detect Dawn or Dusk...Don
