May 15, 201610 yr So I have always flown in the daytime and decided to try a nighttime flight and discovered that the cockpit is way too dark. I can't see anything in the VC at all. Is there a way to fix this? Kevin Humphryes

May 15, 201610 yr Pmdg 737. Also in Carenado CJ2I can't even see the controls to even turn battery on We need a vFlashlight, don't we. What's the button to turn on batteries?

May 15, 201610 yr The switch on overhead panel I meant the keystroke. Maybe try "Shift M" (master battery) then "L" (lights). Gregg Seipp "A good landing is when you can walk away from the airplane. A great landing is when you can reuse it." i9 64GB RAM, GTX-5090
May 15, 201610 yr Author My point being is that I should have to use a keystroke. I should be able to pan around the VC and turn on the switches. The VC is solid black. Kevin Humphryes
May 16, 201610 yr We need a vFlashlight, don't we. What's the button to turn on batteries? Great idea. Is there a flashlight.dll out there?
May 16, 201610 yr Yeah don't think there is a tool for a flashlight like in x plane. There is FSlabs Spotlight. I have it as my cockpit lighting and I love it. Like I said to not a flashlight but you could make a light to act as a flashlight. Follow me on : Instagram See my Trailer: A Year Of Flight
May 16, 201610 yr LOL - yep - been there - trying to find the darn light switch in the dark can be hard... Regards, Scott
May 16, 201610 yr Commercial Member The PC-12 has a bright white VC light so I replaced the VC light in the CJ2 with the one from the PC-12 and also added a couple more down lower where they light up the panel better. If you have the PC-12 installed you can replace the [Lights] section with this: [lights]light.0 = 10, 12.50, 0.00, 3.00, fx_vclightcarpcdlight.1 = 10, 14.0, -1.60, 1.50, fx_vclightcarpcdlight.2 = 10, 14.0, 1.60, 1.50, fx_vclightcarpcd If you don't have the PC-12 you can replace fx_vclightcarpcd with fx_vclight which is a default effect and also fairly bright. This is the light you turn on by clicking the blue lens above you near the cabin curtain. Jim
May 16, 201610 yr The best way I have found is to make sure you know where the dome light is towards the front of the rear overhead. As soon as I get power, I go back there and set it to Dim and then continue on. Let me guess.... you want 64bit. Josh Daniels-Johannson
May 16, 201610 yr Are you using any shaders (Reshade, Shade, etc)? HDR on? I always found it to be way too bright at night with default P3D!! I use Reshade and have a day and night setting. Only then did it get pretty dark. Eric i9-12900k, RTX 5070ti OC, 32GB ddr5 5600 RAM, 2TB 980 Pro SSD, Titan 240RX AIO, Samsung CRG90 49", Win 11
