Instead of making a long winded post about how to manually convert the vc night lighting i made the replacement cab file, Its not perfect and it can slow down the loading of the 757 ( only by a couple of seconds on my PC over the original one ) when you select it in the aircraft selection screen

Important back up Captain_Sim.b757.cab to a safe place.

Replace the cab file in the mod with this one ( extract the cab file first )

http://files.ukcs.net/10412/Captain_Sim_b757.zip ;  ***** THIS IS FOR 4.6 ONLY*****

Follow the instructions in the original 4.1 read me.

Limitations

When you bring up the wx control panel ( 2d panel ), Only the light dimmer works and the first button next to it ( panel lights on and off )

To control cockpit flood lights,

Captains Flood light - controls the cockpit flight light.
First Officer Flood light - Lights up the main panel and pedestal


As normal, use at your own risk and make backups

Gandy,

You say I should extract the CAB file that you've posted.  Should I extract it directly into the CS757 panel folder or should I create a subfolder specifically for the cab file?  I just loaded it up and the 757 wasnt in my fsx aircraft select menu.  I added a new livery, and i could select the aircraft.  However, the overhead panel was useless as none of the buttons can me pressed.

i got it Gandy!  I used the second part of the read me from the originial upload which Neo called the 'smart' method, and manualy updated the panel.cfg and aircraft.cfg myself.  Looks fantastic.  Thank you

Hi, the link for 4.6 doesn't work anymore
