November 5, 20187 yr The 748 is a wonderful aircraft, but personally I don't like the panel lighting that dates back to the NG though it is a lot better than the NG its still not state of the art. So am learning to make my own with Spotlights. I would like any feedback to add to, or make what you see better. Please feel free to contribute to make this work better. All the lighting can be adjusted in intensity to your own liking. none is just fixed amount unlike the default dome 2 stage. Here is my default VC with default dome light ON. Here is the new same view Here the full VC with default Dome And the new MCP Default Look at this full screen. New lighting Default Radio New The same with new Reading lights ON Last one showing how the over head looks with new Dome lights So there you go, need to add map lights etc but please feel free to add comments how it all could get better. BTW even with all the lights on and on 100 brightness there is NO FPS hit, none. Just stunning lights coming from a true light source. All these are done with white lights the colour can be changed. When finished i will ofc share this for anyone who would like to use it. All you would need is the free FSL Spotlight program. I hope you like it as much as I do. David Murden.

November 5, 20187 yr Thank's for bring this up, why I didn play before with this wonderful tool. Defenately more than happy to get better light in VC, the MCP is much real this way, maybe the overhead in yours still dark. You can really enjoy texture in another dimension in night flight. Look forward to see color version for fun. I start to play my self, add some color and is really enhanced the feeling, I will invite some hostess for a night party 🙂 Edited November 5, 20187 yr by simbio
November 5, 20187 yr You can play even externally, it's good for photo shooting : Edited November 5, 20187 yr by simbio

November 6, 20187 yr Author OK...update, a few more hours spend looking at photos have lead me to rework the dome lights. The light was hitting do much of the upfront panel and i've added ambient lighting to the overhead. Also I've added the Entry dome light. Reworked the Reading lights Full view My Default VC view with reading lights only Looking down reading lights only Added Chart light Hoping I've done? What do you think?
