Cameron Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 My best guess would be that you had a session with a previous aircraft where the instrument lighting was turned all the way down, which also controlled these items. X-Plane will "save" this and roll it over to the next aircraft. You can open up an aircraft that has rheostats for this stuff and turn them back up, then load the Duchess to see if that solves it.

carthorse Posted December 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 Thanks for the quick reply Cameron,I used the default 172 to turn up the lighting, then switched back. No Change. I also mapped keys to "instrument lights up/down" and "panel lights up/down" and no change.I've tried both with HDR lighting turned on and off.What ended up solving the problem was uninstalling the aircraft and reinstalling.Prior to the reinstall, i did not have any serious errors in the log.txt file.Cheers!

Can't say I know the cause since this aircraft doesn't use plugins, but glad that fixed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Print744 Posted September 26, 2016 Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 I had the same problem. Uninstalling and reinstalling did the trick. Too bad I wasted one of my downloads (doubt I'll need the rest, though, so not worried). Thanks for the fix! The only complaint I have now is that the Flood Lights are pointed at the seats, not the panel, and are relatively useless. I suppose in real life they'd be used to read charts and stuff on a kneeboard but that doesn't really applying a sim. The result is that at night you can barely see the panel. Even the instrument lighting is barely bright enough to actually see much. Makes instrument flight pretty challenging. That said, it's a great plane with a very realistic flight model. (It's the one I got my CAMEL/Instrument rating in.) Right there with Caranedo and Alabeo in accuracy and attention to detail, maybe even a little better in some ways. It will be a great tool for instrument proficiency (practical, not legal). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goran_M Posted September 26, 2016 Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 This add on was made several years ago, without HDR lighting. I do have plans to upgrade it to today's quality, with HDR lighting, improved mesh and improved textures. Won't be until after the C23, and probably the Citation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
