Did you try adjusting the brightness? Show a screenshot of what you see.

For the record, this is what they should look like. That's with the brightness turned up all the way in the middle of a very bright day.

sometime it is more dark

@cloudfreak1 Yep, that's what the screens really look like on a bright, sunny day. The previous version had the screens way too blown out compared to the real thing. Now it's about right.

That's really not any brighter, and that's for a plane that costs over 30 million dollars!

Okay, I guess we'll have to live with it.

But by the way, it's a really great add-on, great job!

Thanks for the quick reply.

Perhaps you were just used to how it looked prior, but that was not correct. We had the brightness tuned about right a while ago, but then X-Plane 12.3 changed how its tonemapper worked and made the displays appear completely blown-out. It's still not perfect, but at least now we're closer to reality. I still had to set the screens to 1200 nits in X-Plane's lighting definitions, which is about double what they really should be, but if I made them exactly right, you wouldn't be able to see them in daylight at all. X-Plane doesn't correctly approximate the ambient darkening that a large glareshield does (because it doesn't have a raytraced lighting model), so it does kind of a "meh" job when it comes to displays.
