Dark and depressing cockpit in 2.5.4

[LeCuvier]

The cockpiit has become all dark, between different tones of dark grey to anthracite. It's awful! And to make things worse, I cannot turn the instrument lights up any more. No fun!

If you fly 109s, you're on the Dark Side !

:lol:

Feel the power of the dark side

I may make a mod for this, as I've noticed the same thing myself.

The new cockpit of the 109 uses a new layout for the textures as well.

(Engage tldr mode)

The former way they were done was to simple have an image of what the panel would look like, with all gages in place. This means that in order to do setting 'simple' like change the color of the dashboard, you have to painstakingly mask pixel-by-pixel to make sure you keep the original color of the gages. The same applied if you wanted to change a gauge.

The new textures have the panels as a separate file, while the gauges, lettering, controls etc. are on a separate image, meaning one can simply dump the color they'd like over the panels.

TLDR;

It's much easier and faster to change the colors now, so I may endeavour to do so, assuming Devrim doesn't beat me to it. :thumbup:

I'll just accept it as it is, although the cockpit lighting is really weak.

Fortunately, Pato's Revi Mod is still working. I'd hate to fly with the thick blurry lines of the stock Revi.
