Hello guys,

 

let me first thank you for the 777. I am playing Flightsims now for about 10 years, most of the time only casual.

But P3D and the 777 - I love it.

 

Everything works perfect here with V3 but what is still on my mind:

Do you have any good link or documentation for what this "light sensor" window on the top left corner is doing?

 

I hate this thing on my screenshots  :wink:

 

Best regards,

Playing flightsims? *Cringe*

cant  really   say I  even noticed the light sensor  maybe  its  so small  don't  even notice  it

I cannot document it, but my presumtion is that it allows the cockpit displays to automatically adjust their brightness to changing light conditions, as many cell phones can do.

hello,

 

I believe you can find what you need in the FCOM volume 2 which you have with the plane.

this is actually page 704 of the pdf in the Display Brightness Control paragraph 2.

I find this thing very useful. If you click on it in FSX, it expands and when I hover my mouse over it, I gain a couple more FPS!!

The same thing happens if you take the mouse anywhere off the FSX window, or you leave it still so it disappears.

Only in windowed mode, not if you fly full sreen!!

Thanks! Will have a look at it!

True, though allowing the cursor to disappear should work in full screen.

 

I prefer maximised windowed mode. Easy task switching with minimal screen area loss.

Sorry for ignorance, but we talk about 737 or 777?!? And what button are you talking? Can you post a pic pls?

It's a minute white box on the top-left hand corner of your monitor ~ 1mm sq in size. 

Not noticeable until you notice it.

Thx for  that Jude,  as you suggested   you only notice  it  if  you  look for it

And now that you've seen it, you'll never be able to un-see it again!

It relates to the operation of the PMDG gauges, from memory.
