David,
Boeing switched the position of the Go Around switch on the 777.
Either button will send the plane into G/A
Same with the 767/757, either paddle will send the plane into G/A
As for the brightness of the overhead panel.... I tried all different combinations of day, dusk, night and various settings for the lights and I find the panel is very easy to see and read. I don't use a computer monitor, instead I use a wide screen LCD T.V. and it does a fine job on the view.
Mark's suggestion about using the SimIcons is a good one. I usually just select the sub-panel I want and re-size it and put it some where out of the way.
You say you are being trained on the 777? Which operator? If you do get the rating you could be the 777 expert soon! 8-)
