[CORE DCS ISSUE] Cockpit lighting

[myHelljumper]

The cockpit flood lighting is too bright on the lowest setting, it makes flying at night a bit of a pain in the butt. See the screenshot with the 3 flood lights at the lowest setting.

After investigating and setting the level to its minimum in the test servers, the devs have concluded this to be a CORE DCS ISSUE. However this may change in the future with ED implementing a new engine. Marking as such and moving to RESOLVED

Well that's not an acceptable answer.

 

It might be linked to DCS core but the 2000 is the only plane I know affected by this issue. So that's something you need to fix. 

 

The plane has been barely usable at night for months.

Well I guess it's due to the facts the Mirage has a lot more lights sources over the consoles compared to the A10 for example so it makes for a very bright lighting from the beginning. Now I don't think you're supposed to fly with the white panel light in pitch black conditions as in the pics above. I usually just turn on the console flood at minimum and it's enough to use NVG. From my experience IRL for night ops we never want to have lights in the field of the NVG's and even more so when you get your eyes used to the dark, you learn to remember the position of switches on your gear/vehicle and I guess it's kind of the same for aircrews (sim limitation there). So in the end it's a lot of back and forth with nvg on/off and you want to keep the lights to a minimum.

So usable IMO, but I still hope we get a fix though.
