FD and Alt Hold buttons have weird graphics?

[Snacko]

Once in a while the Flight Director and Alt Hold buttons look like they are lit up, but they are not. And they don't look the same color blue as the other buttons that are lit up. The ones that I circled here are actually not on. If I switch them on, they turn blue like the other three buttons and look correct.

 

I have not noticed exactly what situation leads up to this. It just happens sometimes. Others that I fly with have mentioned the same problem, but I have not seen any post about this.

 

Maybe I am just missing some feature, and this is supposed to happen to indicate something??

Actually you are looking at "non lit up" buttoms - but as you are stating, it's sometimes very hard to see the difference.

It would be nice to have a much more gray/dim texture on the buttons when they are unlit / inactive.

It's because of they way they are designed to look when the sun hits them. You'll notice it goes away if you turn different directions.

I assume you are not joking? But in the entire cockpit, they only modeled these two buttons to change with the sunlight? I see no other sunlight effects...

 

Thanks for the replies. I will turn the chopper and see if they change with the light angle.
