Are you undocking them? When you click the screens, the behavior is to get a 2D rendition of the screen. While the 2D is active, the screen on the 3D cockpit is black

The cockpit over all looks very dark here.. like mine. Compared to the screenshots in the shop it looks very dark in P3Dv5.1, even with unchecked HDR and no shader mods. :cry:

Turning off internal vehicle casting and receiving shadows helps a bit for me.

Turn up the flood lights on the overhead.
