cockpit lighting, night flying

[smcnamara]

Hi all,

 

I recently purchased the ixeg 737 classic, and I've been blown away by the realism, I think it's better than any pmdg or ifly products.

 

The one thing I have not been able to figure out so far is the cockpit lighting. I can't turn the intensity of lighting down at all. I've seen in several screenshots and videos where the entire cockpit is dark (dome light off), with only the instruments, switches, gadgets, etc illuminated. I've tried turning off the dome switch on the very top of the overhead panel, and very little changes. I also had all of the flood lights on the instrument, bottom and overhead panel OFF. When I completely shut off the power, the cockpit is completely dark and I need to use the flashlight, so I don't believe it has to do with my screen brightness..

 

Is there something I'm missing here?

Hi,

your answer is in this thread:

In short: The cabin lights "bleed" through the cockpit door (XP bug) - so if you want the cockpit completely dark, turn them off by turning the FASTEN BELTS sign ON.

Cheers, Jan

Sorry for reviving an old thread but I see that the FlyJSim 732 seemed to manage to have the cabin lights on, but with no light bleeding through the cockpit door. Is this something you can look into?

We definitely will - its pretty far up on the list of visual improvements planned!
