January 14, 20251 yr Have you tried using the aircraft controls to control the brightness? edit: There are 4 knobs under the Fenix FCU and one near the center will control the brightness of your winwing Edited January 14, 20251 yr by laserit Floyd Stolle www.stollco.com

Mine matches the Fenix quite closely. Have you tried a different usb? I have mine plugged into a 2.0 and it works fine. Floyd Stolle www.stollco.com

January 14, 20251 yr Author Well tried everything - its just the way the lense is its a bit to dark - and if you look down on it more its better - meaning you cant use the angled provided brackets if you place flat on a desk and look down on it - it gets brighter - not as bright as I would like but better Maybe they can provide a software update to brighten it up prob not - well see sent them a ticket to see what they think Rich Sennett
January 14, 20251 yr Author A little update - contacted Winwing they didnt have much to say about brightness of the numbers on the lense positions - thinking the tint is to dark They did say I could try a 5v usb C power plug it actually helped a little bit - have to get use to it as I think theres nothing else that can be done - its just the way it was designed - its hard or not obvious when you see it in YT videos Rich Sennett

January 14, 20251 yr Try Mobiflight - the profiles include some lighting info I think so it might be slightly different than your experience with SimAppPro. Not having the same issue with Mobiflight.

I didn't seem to change anything for me and it was a painless process. Floyd Stolle www.stollco.com

Thanks much but I updated to latest last night - I asked support about updating firmware in the future but they didn't answer me so thinking is what it is - take care Rich Sennett

January 30, 20251 yr Commercial Member Hi Rich, long time no talk. Out of curiosity, in the SimPro App there is a slider to control the backlighting, did you by chance see this and or attempt to use it to brighten the unit.

January 30, 20251 yr Author Hello my Good Friend - nice to hear from you Yes I did that's not the issue - they have tinted lenses - if your directly in front of them its pretty dim if you stand up and look down on it it gets brighter So lenses are dark - They mentioned putting a 5v power supply on it and that helped wish it was a bit brighter All the other lights are really bright lot of leeway - but they dont have lenses over them - no biggie for the price I cant complain 🙂 Stay well my Friend - thanks for reaching out Edited January 30, 20251 yr by Richard Sennett Rich Sennett
