Does anyone else think that some of the status indicator lights such as the yellow Master Caution, and the blue Eng Valve Closed on the overhead in the 738 are outrageously bright? If I start a night time flight, that master caution light burns my retinas. I have to set the lights switch to dim, which sets them at what seems to be the proper brightness for flight in bright daylight.

Yesterday morning, I did a flight in the 700 and realized that the the lights seem to be at the correct brightness. The dim setting on the light switch appears to be correct for night flight, and the bright position seems correct for daytime ops.

Can this be edited in the PMDG planes, or is it something I need to open a support ticket for (which would be pointless if the lights are at the proper brightness for everyone else, and the reason I am asking)?

Thanks.

Actually dim is the night time setting. That is exactly why these switches are there. The airbus has them as well. You set them to bright in daytime and to dim in night time.

 

I don't notice any difference between the 737 and 738, when it comes to those settings.

You misread my post. In the 738 at night, "dim" is still too bright. "Brt" is exceedingly bright. 

In the 737 at night, "Brt" is too bright (correct brightness for day time) and "Dim" is just right for flying at night.

Yes, I did experience the same problem and PMDG did acknowledge it on their MSFS PMDG 737 forum. They stated that they will be addressing it with a fix which I think will be deployed in their next update; not quite sure when.

Cheers.

Thank you!
