Indexers partially illuminated

Post by farman » Tue Jul 16, 2019 10:45 am

Hi,
attached two shots of the cockpit indexers of the E and J/S variants (both ADV in P3D v4.5, but it was the same in the previous P3D versions). In the first one the central indexers are not illumitaed. Am I missing something or this is the correct illumination?
Thanks for any help & regards,
Fulvio

Hi Jonathan,
"I think so" does mean "is the correct illumination?"

Given that your first one is on the ground and at 0 speed, all AoA indications are unreliable so it can be ignored.

I understand my English is awful, since I meant the central front panel instruments (i.e. Altitude indicator etc.).

Ah! There is a small black knob on the armament control panel in the E for flight instrument lighting. I think there is a similar knob on the left console for the J/S, but I can't recall for sure. The central flight instruments are controlled separately from the other instrument lights.

Fine, it's all clear now.
Thanks, Jonathan,
