KLM_E195-E2 Posted March 31, 2020 Report Share Posted March 31, 2020 I just purchased the E175 v3, and my cockpit lighting doesn’t work. When I click dome light on, nothing happens. The switch does move into the on position, but there isn’t any lighting. The cockpit is too dark with the lights off. The time in the sim is 09:48z. -- Edit subject line a second time to better to reflect the question - Mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EHAM, that’s Schiphol airport. And 0945z is daylight there. The date is 31 March 2020. HDR is on, all HDR values are 1.00. I use the Fair Weather option.

If you’re asking if the aircraft is pointed directly to the sun, the answer is no. I’m using FlyTampa EHAM and I’m parked at gate D24. 18 minutes ago, scoobflight said: And results without this? The results don’t change if I’m using the Winter Wonderland weather option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is the picture in daylight, using FSWX, and the cockpit is very dark compared to the tutorial videos FeelThere has on YouTube. The cockpit lights do work at night.

Triholer Posted April 1, 2020 Report Share Posted April 1, 2020 I do own the E170&E190 package since yesterday (however only using the E190 - on P3D V4.5) and this issue is similar to me: Well, my cockpit is not this dark, however I can confirm the issue of the dome light not acting in daylight (including twilight). More over, the EMER LT doesn't seem to be modelled at all 😞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a P3D shadow setting... I had the Internal Vehicle setting turned on, and when I turned it off, the results were much better. When I solved this problem, I also downloaded TomatoShade and the R&D preset. I also changed the HDR values as you can see in the picture above. Here is the new result: That's already much better, but the buttons on the GP (FCU in Airbus terms or MCP in Boeing terms) are very hard to read because there is a lot of shimmering on the buttons. The overhead panes still is very dark, and because of that, the overhead panel is almost impossible to read. I think I should make a new topic about the shimmering. Here is a picture of the very dark overhead panel: @scoobflight Thanks for your help so far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C2615 Posted April 2, 2020 Report Share Posted April 2, 2020 Right now I use an FSL spotlight profile for Ejets V2 found on AVSIM as a "Hotfix" for this. it's Dome light could lit the cockpit up on at daylight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
