It doens't get any darker, the next position is OFF. The flood light is at the minimum level already in those screenshots. Let me know if this hit anything or if it was a total miss again. *Note* it seems like the DOME light is only on/off, on my end there is no brightness level to it. Turn off the DOME light, and turn down the EADI/EHSI/EICAS screens and it should get you to a level you're looking for. So if you want to darken your flight deck, turn down or off the flood on CA and FO side.

The EICAS dimmer is on the forward aisle stand.Īlso, I think your DOME light is on a little bit creating that flood light effect, since that is pretty much what the DOME light is. The top brightness knob controls the EADI and the bottom knob controls the EHSI so you can dim those appropriately. For the EADI and EHSI on the EFIS control panel are the brightness controls for them. Only turn on the PANEL lights for the back lighting. That will get rid of the lighting on the main instrument panel. It interesting that once I turn on a single panel light (not a flood light), that the entire cockpit glows brighter, and I can see the OH panel more clearly than the panel I turned the light on for.įor that setting I would turn down the flood light on the Captain and FO. I don't know why there appears to be a light still on somewhere that's illuminating the OH panel. It was the same, regardless of engines running, and Taxi lights ON/OFF, and Landing Lights ON/OFF. When I turn off all the lights in the 757-III PW/RR/F, in FSX-SE/P3D3/P3D4, the OH panel is just as dark as all the rest of the panels. But your plane looks like there would always be some kind of a flood light on. Here, too, it looks like there would be some kind of a flood light on for the whole VC, but there isn't.ĭuring night time takeoffs and landings the cockpit should be kept as dark as possible to enable your eyes to adjust to the outside. When I turn lights on it looks like this: My issue is not that I don't find the lights, my issue is that parts of the VC are brighter than others with all lights off. I think that hits all of them and their effects on the lighting in the flight deck.

OVHD will turn on the back lighting of the overhead panel, and DOME turns on the dome lights. To turn on the back lighting of the overhead, turn on the CKT BKR. On the right side of the exterior lights are the CKT BKR, OVHD PANEL and DOME knobs.

Just to the right of that is the AISLESTAND light adjustment, these two knobs will adjust the back lighting and flood light of the throttle quadrant, FMCs and radios.Īlso on the same panel is the LT OVRD button, this over rides all settings of the lighting knobs and turns everything on at full brightness The inner knob will adjust the flood lighting of the same panels. To turn on the back lighting of the MCP and VOR control heads you would need to turn the outer knob labeled GLARESHIELD - located on the bottom left over head left of the exterior lights. Flood will turn on the flood light for the main instrument panel.

This is located near the chart in the window. To turn on the main panel instrument lights, you would need to turn the dial labeled Panel. Ok, I'm going to attempt to hit all the lights to help you out, if I miss any I apologize.

When I turn on any of the backlights many parts of the panel become rather bright while others stay pitch black as they should.Īs you can see the aft overhead panel is still black and the main panels are still dark as well while most of the flightdeck as well as the overhead is quite bright.Īll my other addon aircraft are just as dark as the aft overhead panel and the mainpanel and that's how dark I want them to be.ĭo you have any ideas as to what the issue with the bright parts may be and how to solve it? I'm putting this here and not in the bugtracker as I suspect something has to be wrong on my side and not with the 757.
