August 25, 201114 yr In the 3d cockpit I find it very hard when it's dark to see all the knobs.I do use Track IR and can zoom in very well but I can't imagine it is so dark in real life too. Can that be changed, or can I do that myself? Regards,Robin
August 25, 201114 yr euh dome light perhaps ? flood light ? background panel .... all is there in the cockpit ____________________________________________________ Dieter de Wit
August 25, 201114 yr Do you have your panel and MCP Flood lights on with the dome lights? Also, update to hotfix 3, the dome lights in some models didn't fully light up the cockpit.

August 25, 201114 yr The other panels have a background light control, does the overhead panel have one?

August 25, 201114 yr The overhead uses the dome light for "flood" illumination. If you look at the location of the dome lights in the cockpit, they actually illuminate the overhead very well. Joe Sherrill
August 25, 201114 yr Author I re-downloaded and re-installed the 737NGX on 17aug. So I do think I have the latest hotfixes installed. I always press Shift+L to put the cockpitlights on. I think al lights go on at that moment but maybe not.I see all the small lights burning etc. but if I try to click the light for strobe/nav I always press other buttons around it, like the Beaconlight.
August 25, 201114 yr Shift L just turns on panel lights, according to this guide I found: http://www.mutleyshangar.com/downloads/FSX%20Keyboard%20Commands%20Pamphlet.pdf Anyways, look below the Inboard Capt DU, and you'll see two larger knobs. The left is panel flood, the right is AFDS flood. Also, on the Aft overhead, hit the switch that says "dome". That will get you lit up well. You can look down to the pedestal, and on the back left of it are two knobs for pedestal lighting. I hope that helps.

August 25, 201114 yr Author Oke thankyou, I'll try it in about an hour. My harddisk is currently defregmanting.If I press Shift+L it looks like this:
August 25, 201114 yr Shift-L....one did when flying a default MSFS ac long ago.Use those knobs and buttons in the Flightdeck instead.A real Pilot dosen´t press Shift-L.... .This ac are made to be as realistic as ever in a sim. / Leffe Leif A Mikkelsen **********************
August 25, 201114 yr Look at the bottom the the aft overhead. There is a white three position switch in the middle, that's your dome lights. Tyler St. Peter Tyler St. Peter Specs- i7-950 OC@ 3.4Ghz, Asus P6TSE, ATI HD5770, 750W PSU, Water cooled, Hitachi 1TB HDD
August 25, 201114 yr Agree, the overhead panel could do with background lighting or some ambient light, hard to see knob position. Jose De Campos London
August 25, 201114 yr Please don't use Shift-L. Use the proper lighting controls. ___________________________________________________________________________________ Zachary Waddell -- Caravan Driver -- Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/zwaddell Avsim ToS Avsim Screenshot Rules
August 25, 201114 yr I reckon if you took away all the pointless "can I have this, can I have that" posts you'd be left with a virtually empty forum. Regards, Max (YSSY) i7-12700K | Corsair Vengeance LPX 64GB 3600MHz DDR4 | Gigabyte RTX4090 24Gb | Gigabyte Z690 AORUS ELITE DDR4 | Corsair HX1200 PSU
