Is there a brightness control someplace?  I haven't found it and both screen are dim, not dark, but needed some brightness.  Thanks.

On the panel right next to the taxi/nav/landing lights there are three knobs. One of them is for brightness.

I found that one, but, it is INOP  Thanks.

Are you sure? I was using it last night and it worked fine.

It doesn't dim the glass panels completely like it does the steam gauges, but it does dim them.

Hey Ray, Get the G1000 mod....it works on all airframes not just the C172 like I originally thought.

To use...hit the Menu button, then use the FMS rotary to adjust.....works fantastic!!!

Oh...and if you're looking for a short, extremely scenic flight....take the route you see on my PFD.   It is a stunning view!  Take her up to 9,000 and marvel at the beauty. 🙂

Oh yeah...the mod also lets you turn off Synth vision.  I personally like it off, but have it on for this trip since I'm flying in the mountains. 🙂

added Synth vision screen

Sounds good, but, I can't find the link for the G1000 mod.  The Avsim search engine leaves much to be desired.  Thanks.

I hear ya Ray.  And I know you're also as affecect by virtual paint fumes as I am...so us painters need to take care of one another. 😉

Here is a link to the post here on avsim:

 

Wow. This mod works perfectly for me in the SR22.  Thanks to everyone involved in the fix.  Thanks Steve, I really appreciate you responding and then following up with the link.

Like I said...if you weren't a painter....I'd just sluff it off. 😉

(JK of course, but we're brothers of the brush) 🙂

Edit: Or maybe I'm confusing you with another old timer? hehe...I though you painted?  If not...just as well...its the paint fumes affecting my cognitive skills. 🤣

I painted a gazillion Carenado Phenom 300 And a few other odd ones here and there.

I knew I smelled virtual paint on your posts here.  Hehe.

Glad the mod works for ya...I'm finding it invaluable when I do dawn/dusk/night flying.  And turning off synth vision really freshens up the panel IMO.   Like the crisp look of "Blue over Brown". 🙂

 

Raymar, I think I misunderstood you when posting the video above and I appoligise.

I thought you meant you couldn't adjust the brightness but I see you meant you couldn't make it brighter. I do see where the knob will only go slightly past center while the other knobs go to 100%. I'm glad Steve chimed in with the solution.
