martin5042 Posted January 7, 2023 Report Share Posted January 7, 2023 I am experiencing a lighting issue when flying the Challenger at night in X plane 12. When it becomes dark the Displays and integrated lights become overly bright. Even after lowering the lighting setting in the plane there in a persistent refection on the cockpit windshield. Is this an issue with X plane 12 or something in the plane that will be fixed in an update ? I noticed a similar problem in the Flight Factor 757 in X plane 12 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cameron Posted January 7, 2023 Report Share Posted January 7, 2023 Can you please post a screenshot of this? It sounds like you may still be missing another dimmer here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin5042 Posted January 7, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2023 thanks for the quick reply. I will send you a screenshot tonight when I return. Quick question, could these reflections be a result of the cabin lights being on ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is done deliberately, and is meant to simulate blown out screens, that are on full brightness, at night. To fix this, you need to dim the lights (BRT/DIM switch on the overhead) On 1/8/2023 at 3:03 AM, martin5042 said: Even after lowering the lighting setting in the plane there in a persistent refection on the cockpit windshield. This is an XP12 lighting issue. I can certainly lower the reflections down, but the glass will look very dull during daylight hours. I'll mess around with it some more and see what I can come up with. On 1/8/2023 at 3:15 AM, martin5042 said: Quick question, could these reflections be a result of the cabin lights being on ? We're not really sure. But it's possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin5042 Posted February 14, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2023 When do you anticipate an update that will address the issue of the reflections ? Also the external views of the aircraft at night seem to generate excessive shimmering. Is this just something we need to live with until x plane 12 is a more stabilized platform ?

If you mean the gloss is excessive, I can reduce it, but then it would take on a more matte finish during daylight hours. I've experimented previously with finding a good balance, with not much being achieved in the way of looks. I'll note it down for future reference.

But I don't want to go finger pointing just yet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleurenf Posted August 16 Report Share Posted August 16 Just to keep this alive, I too have that distinct reflection in on the PIC side cockpit window.. I found that the culprits are the MFDs. By turning the brightness right down to minimums, the reflection was all but gone. Only slight visual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
