CDU Illumination Control

Featured Replies

Is it possible to adjust the brightness of the CDUs in the same way as the other displays? I've had a search on these forums but couldn't find an answer. I really like the way the cockpit lighting can be controlled, here's a pic flying over WA on route to YPPD. Had to go off route a little to get the sun where I wanted it. Ah, just noticed, a "Member" at last...Big%20Grin.gif

Well what about the brightness control knob on the CDU itself? The white knob just above the EXEC key, that will adjust the screens brightness.

If you mean the screen brightness, Angelo has it spot on. If you mean the lighting of the keys, it's controlled by the lighting controls on the radio panel.
