The gauges are lit up in the 2-d mode. But, in 3-d mode, I cannot see a thing in the VC. I used the configure program to choose a light color, but can't see a thing, not even the "in-gauge" lights. This is really frustrating b/c I love to fly at night and in IFR.

Go to Options | Display | Hardware Tab | Hardware Effects LightsIncrease the slider to at least 5 This should cure your problem.Best,

I'll have to remember that tip too; thanks Roger.If that doesn't work though, I had some "lighting" problems recently in my DC-3 which, thanks to the experience and courtesy of many of the fellas here at AVSIM, we got resolved.Take a look at the this thread. Hopefully, between Roger's suggestion and what i was taught, your problem will be solved.Good luck![http://ftp.avsim.com/cgi-bin/dcforum/dcboard.cgi?az=read_count&om=5044&forum=DCForumID8]Regards,Heather
