737-200 VC lights are not working

[FSDanL 3]

Has anyone else had a problem with the cockpit lights? I have a DirectX11 card and have never had light problems with any plane. But when I load this one in ready for takeoff mode, it's almost totally dark (a few numbers and the FMC are lit). I tried the knobs for the lights and some more numbers came on and others just got a little brighter. Everything else, including the main gauges, were very dark.

 

I posted this on their support forum, but no answers yet. I really hope someone has an answer, because it's an otherwise really nice plane. One of the major selling points to me was the incredible lighting demo and I love night flying. Any chance the low-res textures would work better?

 

 

Nevermind. They did post a response and it looks like there may be an answer coming soon.

There are several knobs and a switch ... did you try them all?

 

Have you watch the video on lighting?

 

Initially, you can have a totally dark cockpit ... it would not be a problem with the aircraft.

Thanks Vaughan. I did see the demo and I tried the knobs at the bottom of the panel just like the video. It just doesn't work. I also tried the just released service pack 4 and it's still mostly dark and nothing has changed with the lighting. At this point, I'm concluding that it just doesn't work with my system.

We will send you a new dll shortly that may rectify your issue.

When you move the knobs (or switch) with your mouse do you get a visible knob rotation or switch up/down movement?

Yes, they do move. Also, the right knob has a click sound at about the 11:00 position.
