At night.  Because the VC lighting does not work. I have installed the latest update/patches (assume these are cumulative - purchased the 777 recently).  I have searched here and elsewhere many times.  Others have the same issue. Some were solved by turning on the generators (mine are definitely on), while others' issues sadly seem to have remained unaddressed. 

My VC at night looks nothing like what you see in the video (posted by admins here) and CS main page screen shots in the links below. What isn't working are the limey green/yelllow instrument lights that illuminate the switches and labels. Can't fly without these.  In the video the switch - to the right - on the overhead turns these on but nothing happens when I do. For me, I just get the very faint flood light  you see in the video when just operating the overhead switch on the left.  Also, like others have posted, there is a "glare shield" switch but you only see light through the cracks like its positioned behind the panel - which isn't much use and looks nothing like in the screen shot below.  i have experimented by adding default vc light effects to the air.cfg using different coordinates but still no luck.  The problem actually does seem like the default coordinates are way off.  Please let me know if you have your vc lights working any better than what I have described.

I'm having the same problem with the panel night lighting not working. I was hoping the recent update would fix it, but no such luck. I also own the Capt. Sim 737 and 727, and both have great night lighting. I regularly fly planes from Quality Wings, Caranado and Just Flight...ditto. Why can't Capt. Sim fix this??

OK, let's approach this from another direction. If you're NOT having this problem with the night lighting, can you please tell us exactly how you're turning the lights on? Please? 

If I am flying the 777 at night, I first press the 'L' key, which turns on all of the lights.  After the engines are started I then turn individual lights down or off as needed.

I can't get the "lime lights" at all pressing the center switch. Also I just noticed something else weird - the "wing light" switch on the overhead also adds to the floodlights.  My flood lights seem to light up the jump seats and back of the flight deck.  Again, something strange.

Also, pressing the "L" key turns nothing on/off inside, only outside.  Never seen that before in FS.

All these symptoms - and few others having them - make  wonder if I have the wrong air.cfg locations?

Could someone here with truly wonderful cockpit lighting (at night - FSX vc lights don't work well by day) please post here their [lights] entries for the 777-200LR model?  Thanks!
