Cockpit control panels too dark in Wellington bomber and others

[tovarisch]

First of all congratulations to Team Fusion for the effort made, but I think the cockpit control panels are too dark in the game in general, and specially in the Wellington bomber.

It is hard to see anything even under sunny lighting conditions. I suggest to Team Fusion to lighten them up a bit for the new coming patch.

Thank you very much for keeping the dream alive.

I'm also finding it a bit hard to read... and I'm finding sometimes the aircraft skins are lost in shadow (e.g. the Tiger Moth at noon looks pretty dark)

Old time issue in my opinion. I always turned the dashboard lights on. This helps in the Hurricanes and 109s,but not the Wellington though.

I used to have a second screen with instrument. I cannot find or remember where I got it or where to put the folder. 
I managed to take of with full load and climb without reading the instrument other than temperature. I would like to know climb speed and settings. I see if I find specs on it.

As someone mentioned, please turn on your instrument panel lights.

 

That will help you see the instruments better.

 

But we are also looking at increasing the brightness of the Welly cockpit.

Hello LuseKofte

 

Please look at the Flashcard Manuals for the settings for climb... 30 minute.

I was referring to the lighting in general. Please compare with the Beaufighter. I know about the instrument lights, but  I meant  the ambient light or diffuse. It is too dark and I think it is a disappointment after the hard work on the cockpit. It would look much better  with more light. In my opinion.

I hope Team Fusion fix it. It will improve a lot. The cockpit itself is amazing and deserves to bright in full splendor.

I think the light will be too bright outside. If you light up the cockpit more. 
I am in the process of getting a screen small enough to fit my pit and then get instrument on that

May be I explain myself in a wrong way. I do not mean to increase the illumination outside, but to raise it only inside the cockpit panel area. This could be made increasing the bitmap contrast of the panel or increasing illumination in that area. Keep in mind that real light rebounds even in shadows, so it should be more visible all that area of the panel. If you see the Beaufighter cockpit you will notice what I mean, everything there has more light and instruments have a better visibility.

The Beaufighter previously had complaints about a dark cockpit and we changed it...  we will also change the Welly as soon as we can find the time.
