Panel way to dark [resolved]

[m.g.franz]

Hello,

I bought and installed this aircraft with no problems. But at the first start in the sim, at daylight, the panel is way to dark. Nearly nothing is visible. What did i wrong?

Can you post a screencap please?

Any weired shaders? HDR active? These are the usual suspects.

@ Oisin: Some pics are here. The last two are from a different aircraft at the exact same spot and a few seconds later.

@ matpietsch: … may be, but I do not know, what this is, how to handle that or to look if it is (without my direct knowledge) active.

Thanks a lot,

Michael

There are some textures missing! It is not dark, it is solid black. The window frames for example should be in a beige colour.

Hmmm! How that? What to do now? By the way: I installed the newest hotfix - unfortunately no success!

delete this folder:

C:\Users\Yourname\AppData\Local\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\Shaders

and try again.

Wouldn't happen to be using a Shader mod app such as PTA, Tomatoe shade etc? I see this often with new releases using the new PBR.

Same issue - deleted shaders folder = no luck. Note I have installed the hotfix, also.

Reinstall?

I have the same issue, for the time being, on the overhead panel, turn up the INSTR INDIRECT lights, you will be able to see the panel.

I wonder if Real Light is the cause?

Thoughts?

Hello Friends!

Thank you so far for the kind aid, but unfortunately nothing helped (for me at least). Maybe the team at milviz has a solution, particularly I'm not the only one with this kind of issue.

Well at least the "Cold and Dark" is really Cold and Dark

After some mugs of german "Glühwein" it's not really cold but really very, very dark!
