AnnaNass Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 There are some lights missing in th mig cockpit. First of all the white main light. The next ones are lightnings for levers, for example: weapon selector gear flaps hud lights intense knobs ... there are many buttons without lights and you need the flashlight to find them, thats horrible. And what about beacon lights and strobe lights?

And what about beacon lights and strobe lights? First of all welcome to the forums. Your problems with the internal lights were already discussed in another thread. Please use the bug section to look for reports and post these. The lighting will be fixed in DCS 2.0 as there seems to be a problem with the graphics engine and texture lighting as far as I remember but the experts may correct me. For the flashlight, don't know if you checked the manual but using the flashlight during a coldstart is pretty normal. I personally don't have any problems when all other lights are on, to recognize other switches.

I fly in real and at night also, if i imagine - using the flashlight during inflight... thats not the right time for the flashlight unless you have an lighting failure

It will surely get better with 2.0. But as said the instrument panels produce enough light in my setup to check all relevant switches. You are sure you have all backlights enabled? BTW after some hours in the pit and 20 plus ramp starts you will know the position of each switch and find them blind like a real pilot :joystick: Edit: I added a Screen, as you can see most battle relevant switches are illuminated. Sure, the switches around the gunsight are not optimal but that will change in the future.

I have the same picture, its hard to hit the landing gear lever and its impossible to see the setting of the weapon selector (the position of the weapon selector which station is active)
