WinWing 737 Lighting

Featured Replies

Does anyone know how to keep the back light on the 737 FMS? Its on when the sim boots up and then when you go to a runway/gate it turns off? Any ideas? X-plaane you can control with dimmers but not MSFS.

I think its the light on the pedestal in the PMDG at least from top of my memory

You mean the panel back light (around the buttons)? That's down behind the yoke, "Main Panel".
As for the backlight of the digits display, that's not controllable neither in the PMDG 737 nor in the iFly 737, they are just missing this variable. You can set it directly in the SimAppPro.

For transparency: I'm a community mentor at the BATC discord. However, I do not get paid for it in any way.

The backlight of display works with the buttons on the FMC. i am quite sure the light on the pedestal also dim or bright the letters and numbers on the FMC with the PMDG at least

It appears it only does that in xplane. I can check sync in the software for MSFS but it does not work. I did set it in the software for 'on' all the time.

Simapp has an option for "on" all the time?  It's weird, I have 2 777 units, the display on one powers down but the keys still work until I go into simapp and change the brightness then it comes back, the other never goes to sleep.  

I wonder if one has that "on" setting ticked in the SW.

Well my PMDG and the FMC works perfectly with all backlight adjustment from the Cockpit in MSFS2020
