May 23, 200620 yr anyone know if there's a way to increase the VC cockpit lighting in the default boeing jets? almost to hard to read the instruments at night. i'm not talking about the dark shadow effects you get during the day just to brighten the panel a bit more so i can see. thanks, william
May 23, 200620 yr Moderator Double or even triple the number of vclight.fx entries in the aircraft.cfg lighting section.Or, change out to one of the high-intensity .fx lights, found in the Effects folder.

May 23, 200620 yr Hitry these two filesxenon2.zip landing lights choice of 6 different onesvc_lighting_fix.zip brightens up the VC..737 looks really good with panel light on at night,also does 777.these two files are must have files for me.backup your original files in case they are not too your taste.xenon2.zip might not be here.you might have to get this from flightsim.com try here 1st thoughvc_lighting_fix.zip this file i got from here in file library best wishes steve let me know what you think
May 24, 200620 yr thanks guys. i tried it steve and it's sweet:-yellow1. really impressed with the 737, has that cool mellow glow. the 777 is readable now which is great. i didn't change anything in the 747 and can't remember if i had a problem with it also but either way i can read it too. do you have any other tricks up your sleeve? like is there a way to switch the MFD pages in the boeings so i don't have to switch back to 2D to get the info i need? in the 747 whatever i select in the 2D mode will show in the VC but it doesn't work in the 777. not a big show stopper but thought i'd ask anyway. steve thanks a million. william
May 24, 200620 yr Hi williamsorry can't help with the MFD pages.maybe someone else has seen something for that.glad you like the VC lighting.very nice eh:-) have you tried a new sound file for the default 737...if not try this one737_cfm56_the _real_deal_version_2.zip by Christoffer Petersenalso credit to dirk kurze for xenon2 andvlad zaitsev for VC lighting fix.... excellent freeware cheers steve
May 24, 200620 yr hi steve, ok, no problem. yea, the lighting is really nice to say the least. i do have some good sound files for all the boeings though but thanks anyway. also thanks again for the light help. william
