Instrument panel lighting PA38

Featured Replies

The instrument guages and panel with the Alabeo PA 38 Tomahawk in x Plane 11 are so dark they are imposible to read.

How can I lighten up the cockpit and instrument panels please?

Thanks Chipmunkman

 

This may be a dumb or obvious question, but have you found the switches for turning on and adjusting the gauge and panel lights? I don't have that PA 38 model, but many models load with the lighting turned off, or way down, even if you start with engines running. I always have to remember to turn up the gauge lighting on the Carenado PC-12 when that model loads.

Thanks Paraffin.

This helped a bit, but it is still a pretty poor representation of the actual aircraft cockpit in daylight. It shouldn't be necessary to have panel lights on for daytime flying.

Thank you all the same.
