Panels night texture issue - night lighting v. floodlights

Recommended Posts

I found this issue on E195 - see image attached (I did not check in the other aircrafts).

The night texture is of very poor quality. It becomes instantly better when you use the flood/storm knob.

I would expect a high definition texture even without the flood/storm light. 

Best regards

Please also have a look at the texture of the FMS. It appears that there is a mismatching layer or something. If you look at the number keys, you can see a circular light "shadow", decentralized to the its left. You can note the same pattern in the other keys and the screws of the MCDU.

It seems like the light is just hitting the keys in a weird angle. Most likely it will not happen at any other lighting condition.

It is not light. I used "shadow" for lack of a better word, but it seems like a stain. Have a look at the screw holes in the upper part of the FMS, and you will notice that it is not a shadow.

Regarding the FMS keys, I cannot see why you think there is a problem. To me they look perfectly normal. The alpha numeric keys are indented, that is, they have a depression in the centre of each key. To represent that on a flat screen requires use of lighter and darker shades, as in any artistic work. Real FMS keys develop a shine in use, and the example shown gives a good representation of the real thing.

It is not the keys, but around them. I hope the picture below make it more clear:
