JOEM423 Posted June 14, 2023 Posted June 14, 2023 Hay All, I started a mission at 5:30am in the F-14B and it started with Red Lighting in the cockpit and Hud, VDI, etc. I tried turning off the Red Lighting, but the HUD, VDI,etc all stayed red! I couldnt find anything in the cockpit to change from night lighting to day lighting. Any help will be appreciated! Thanks a Bunch, Joe

Thanks a Bunch, Joe The HUD night mode is controlled by the little pull handle next to the VDI. Pulling the handle out engages the red filter. However, I have seen an issue where the red filter is on, despite the handle not being pulled out. In those cases, just cycle the handle out and back in and it'll go back to day mode. The VDI doesn't have a switch because night mode was done by sticking a red transparency onto the screen. You can turn the effect on and off by clicking the screen of the VDI itself. The other lighting controls are on the far right panel. You can switch on a red or white flood light in the cockpit, and using the dials you can turn up or down the instrument and panel lights (they are always red). Edited June 15, 2023 by WarthogOsl 3
