Pilot's flashlight not working in 2.2

[philstyle]

The pilot's flashlight hardly makes a difference to the cockpit when activated (DCS 2.2). This has been a problem since early in the 2.0 development.

I am unable to find certain cockpit instruments when the cockpit is in shadow, even during the day in near-full sunlight.

It is extremely dim in DCS 2.2

 

Pic 1 - Viggen on Normandy at midnight

Pic 2 - Mirage 2000C at the same place and time with the same settings

Pic 3 - Mirage 2000C max zoom in and you can read everything in the cockpit

Pic 4 - Viggen max zoom in and i can't read (especially the front panel)

Pic 5 - Viggen in DCS 1.5.8 open beta

Maybe put the gamma up and try again.

 

Doing so does actually make NVG and the flood lights more effective. Maybe this is also a thing with the flashlight...

Good point, i'm using a gamma setting of 1.8 in DCS 2.2 open alpha because the default 2.2(?) setting is to bright for my taste at noon. Setting it back from 1.8 to 2.2 improves the issue for me a little but it is not as bright as in DCS 1.5.8

For day flights, I usually use 1.5, for Night missions though, I put it up by 1, meaning I'll fly with gamma on 2.5 which helps a lot in the night.

+1 (at least for dawn or night missions)

It works fine for me in 2.2 if I have deferred shading off.
