I wish someone would turn off autobrakes, wing lights, strobe, window heat, pitot heat, weather radar, engine start switches and flight directors whilst I am enjoying taxiing to the terminal.
But alas, I too am alone in the cockpit.
Ah - ok. I have noticed this, too. Sometimes it takes a few minutes for the light-level to register...
The whole thing is somewhat of a mystery to us (and the staff at Laminar Research, too).
First, the "LIT" texture in the cabin should not cast light on the cockpit in the first place - even if there was no backwall or door to the cockpit at all. It is not a dynamic 3D light...so we have no idea why it does that.
Second, no one has any idea why it takes a few minutes for X-Plane to register the new light-level.
The good news is that we are planning to add a better 3D cabin with 3D lights in a future update - at that point I hope that these problems will go away.
For now my workaround (if you suffer from the time-delay) is to simply leave the Fasten belt switch to ON.
Cheers, Jan
This freeware scenery enhancement has been available for awhile I finally decided to upload it here to X-Pilot. GlacierMAXX replaces the default glacier textures in X-Plane with a more dramatic set. Using Normal Maps the textures have depth and specular highlights.
**To Install** Just drop the "GlacierMAXX" folder into your custom scenery folder and fire up X-Plane.
