Nose Trim instrument light

[Slippa]

Is the bulb out?

I noticed on a cold start with the sun setting. Cockpit lights on, everything lit up fine bar the nose trim indicator.

This is a Spitfire, with an instrument light not working.

if I moved this ‘bug report’ to the F15 thread it’d roll like a race result. 

Never mind Spitty, I still love ya.

You’re going to have to clarify your statement. There isn’t a nose trim indicator light, just the gauge.

^ I think he's asking why the trim gauge doesn't react to cockpit light then, like other instruments which were painted with fluorescent paint for that reason.

@SlippaWe know that complete cockpit retexturing of the Spit is in the works. I suppose they won't bother with fixing the old textures when these are soon going into a bin anyway.

However, if the problem persists in the new pit, you're free to unleash the report bumping fury  .

Yeah, everything else seems lit up, or is painted fluorescent so is easily read. Nose trim you have to peer into to see. I don’t suppose it is backlit thinking about it so maybe I should be asking ‘where’s the bleedin paint’. 

Will steady my horses . For now

Gonna mark this as a solution. More or less ‘we’re working on it, you’re waiting for it’.

let’s hope it’s updated soon. I jumped in the Spit last night for a quicker start than a Mossie. Straight away I was sweeping around smiling and muttering to myself about not flying it enough lately. Would be nice to have it freshened up a bit. I’ll give it a while, say, two weeks or something.

Oh, haven't flown it in a while either. But the cockpit snippets in that Normandy 2 teaser vid looked very promising. Once it's out, I'm gonna fly the thing much more often again. Until then, texture mods help somewhat.

Just to give credit where it’s due, I was trying to take off the other night in almost complete darkness and set my nose trim happily.

Thanks to whoever did the job on the new cockpit a while back, nice and bright now along with the rest of it.
