Dear captainsim,

I'm putting this here and not in the bugtracker as I suspect something has to be wrong on my side and not with the 757. I hope you can help me nonetheless.
When I turn on any of the backlights many parts of the panel become rather bright while others stay pitch black as they should.

Please have a look at this picture:


As you can see the aft overhead panel is still black and the main panels are still dark as well while most of the flightdeck as well as the overhead is quite bright.
All my other addon aircraft are just as dark as the aft overhead panel and the mainpanel and that's how dark I want them to be.

Do you have any ideas as to what the issue with the bright parts may be and how to solve it?  :)


Ok, I'm going to attempt to hit all the lights to help you out, if I miss any I apologize.

To turn on the main panel instrument lights, you would need to turn the dial labeled Panel.  This is located near the chart in the window.  Flood will turn on the flood light for the main instrument panel.  Same goes for the FO lights.

To turn on the back lighting of the MCP and VOR control heads you would need to turn the outer knob labeled GLARESHIELD - located on the bottom left over head left of the exterior lights.  The inner knob will adjust the flood lighting of the same panels.

Just to the right of that is the AISLESTAND light adjustment, these two knobs will adjust the back lighting and flood light of the throttle quadrant, FMCs and radios.

Also on the same panel is the LT OVRD button, this over rides all settings of the lighting knobs and turns everything on at full brightness

On the right side of the exterior lights are the CKT BKR, OVHD PANEL and DOME knobs.  To turn on the back lighting of the overhead, turn on the CKT BKR.  OVHD will turn on the back lighting of the overhead panel, and DOME turns on the dome lights. 

I think that hits all of them and their effects on the lighting in the flight deck.  If you need any more help lemme know!
