Brightness problems

[seikdel]

Hey Folks. It seems that the lighting cockpit panel brightness knob controls the brightness for the PVI-800 and HSI, the PVI-800's brightness knob controls nothing, and the HSI/ADI brightness knob only controls the ADI and backup ADI's brightness.

 

Anyone else getting this? Am I just wrong?

PVi-800 brighto knob is inop, as is the overhead panel knob. Rear panel knob works. I think the rest work properly but i am not sure, I have a cockpit to look at instead.

 

just the way it is...

The overhead brightness knob is nonfunctional, yes. The PVI knob is supposed to work, according to the flight manual. And my point about the rear one is that it's supposed to control HSI brightness as well, which it doesn't appear to.

I confirm. The PVI brightness knob worked on BS1. Unfortunately, it seems it doesn't work anymore.

Yeah, I've also experienced this. The panel brightness knob does not dim the panel lights, it only turns them on/off if the knob is at the max/min position. The knob does however dim the PVI brightness and the other buttons that look like PVI-buttons, for example the data link panel and the targeting mode buttons on the left panel.

 

My thought, if this worked in BS1, the change of cockpit format might be the root of the problem. Perhaps unrelated, but I've looked at Richardo's HD pit for BS1 and it did have a couple of "night" textures that does not exists in BS2. Just a small observation.

To me (that's my personal thought of course), the root of the problem may be that ED doesn't take care of Black Shark anymore!
