December 27, 200718 yr The virtual cockpit night lighting in the default A321 is too bright and on my system results in an almost complete wash-out of the airspeed and altitude tapes. Turning of the panel lighting causes the entire panel to go black, and there is absolutely no gauge glow.Does anyone have any ideas on what kind of edit is needed to turn off the dome or panel lighting so that only the CRTs glow in the panel, as in the real world aircraft? See my screenshot, which was taken from the Overland A321 VC, for what I'd like to see at night.Cheers,http://www.my-buddy-icon.com/Icons/objects/red_3d_plane.gifAlex ChristoffN562ZBaltimore, MDhttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/182413.jpg PowerSpec G426 PC running Windows 11 Pro 64-bit OS, Intel Core i7 11700K @ 3.60GHz 30 °C, 4089MB NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 , ASUS TUF Z590-Plus Gaming motherboard, Samsung 870 EVO 2TB SSD, Samsung 750 EVO 500GB SSD, Acer Predator X34 34" curved monitor (external view), RealSim Gear G-1000 avionics suite, RealSim Gear GNS 450, Slavix Stay Level Custom Metal Panel, Honeycomb Alpha Yoke, Redbird Alloy THI, Saitek Combat Rudder Pedals.
December 27, 200718 yr Moderator On all aircraft, look in the aircraft.cfg file for the [LIGHTS] section, as shown below. Look for a line with something like fx_vclighth and place two slashes // in front of the line, then Save the file.ACES created an entirely NEW "Light Type 10" back in FS9 specifically for overhead cabin lights. Why the h*ll they don't even use it themselves is anyone's guess! [LIGHTS] //Types: 1=beacon, 2=strobe, 3=navigation, 4=cockpit, 5=landinglight.0 = 3, -19.10, -54.15, 5.85, fx_navredm ,light.1 = 3, -19.10, 54.15, 5.85, fx_navgrem ,light.2 = 3, -83.60, 0.00, 7.60, fx_navwhih ,light.3 = 2, -18.60, -53.50, 5.75, fx_strobeh ,light.4 = 2, -18.60, 53.50, 5.75, fx_strobeh ,light.5 = 2, 3.70, 0.00, -2.80, fx_beaconb ,light.6 = 1, -3.30, 0.00, 11.50, fx_beaconh ,//light.7 = 4, 53.41, 0.00, 4.50, fx_vclighth ,Alternatively, try one of the other two vc lights:fx_vclightwhi.fx or fx_vclight.fx Fr.

July 29, 201411 yr Administrators This is a very old thread to jump into. I suggest creating a new thread and describe your problem in detail. All default and probably most 3rd party addon aircraft will be this way. The panel/VC light must be on to see the gauges light up in the VC. Probably a better situation in the payware aircraft.
