Night flight issue

[Julien Pham]

Hi,

I like this aircraft, well designed. But I have an issue with night flights. I mean, is there a way to lit up the dashboard, to see the knobs? The buttons are lit up, but not the knobs, so I don't see them. Hard, for instance, to use the COM in the night as I can't see where to put my mouse to move the knob. I manage to do it after trials and errors, but not very convenient.

 

Is this the same in the real aircraft? As I have seen on other planes some kind of light that lit the whole dashboard in a dim blue light for instance. Not with the Corvalis?

 

Thanks

You could turn on the overhead light (push the light lens in the center of the overhead console).  In addition, the cursor will change to tell you when you are over the knob.

 

The real aircraft does not have a panel "flood light".

Oh ok thanks. Too bad the real aircraft has not I mean, according to planes I saw, lower brand Cessna do have ^^ I'll try the overhead light...
