I think I've come up with a fix I can live with. I used the [GTN_750_1.NO_BEZEL] trick to adjust the brightness of only the VC gauge and not the pop up. With the following setup the gauges load at 100% brightness but if I just open the pop up windows really quick and then close them it adjusts the VC gauges to the correct brightness. I have no problem doing this at the beginning of flights as it's much less annoying than going into the setup each time and adjusting the brightness slider. Let me know if there is a better fix but this will hold me over 🙂 New .ini settings [GTN_750_1] ; is the master device if true.

So it looks like I lied. I fired up the RealAir Legacy and it looks like it's the secondary GTN that doesn't maintain the brightness setting. Here is a screenshot when I fire up the Legacy. I go to the settings for the bottom GTN and it has a brightness setting in the 60s just like the top GTN but is obviously displaying 100% brightness. Panel.cfg

Thanks for the speedy reply! I will grab it this evening when I get home.

The issue I'm having is in all the aircraft where I have 2 GTN 750s. I set the screen brightness to 70 on both but when reloading the aircraft only the secondary 750 keeps the brightness setting. The main 750 will be at full brightness but when going to the settings for that window it will still show the setting of 70% or whatever I had it set for. So each time I load up any aircraft with 2 750s I will have to go to the settings menu for the main unit and adjust the screen brightness 1% either direction and then apply in order to get it where I would like. I'm assuming it's a simple setting I'm overlooking but any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Edit - tttocs already answered while I was typing.

I've also had zero issues since they made the switch to ORBX. I've been using it on a daily basis and also transferred my purchases over to the ORBX website without a hitch.

Have you messed with the HDR Night Darkness slider in the ENVSHADE settings?

I'll share my experience on the off chance it helps. I just had a similar issue in the past couple weeks and for some reason and it was caused by having MSI Afterburner OSD monitoring turned on. I've always used it to keep an eye on FPS and temps but all the sudden I was getting crashes at the splash screen and disabling the OSD was the fix for me.
