Instrument lights are always on #90

It seems to me that some gauges have the instrument lights always on, does anyone know anything about this?

I will fix the mapping things tomorrow. the Instrument Light is to make Instruments better readable

@D-ECHO :+1: And so this means that once the mapping is fixed then the lights can be toggled off?

ghost commented 7 years ago

Actually not. I've been told by some fg glider pilots never to remove the instrument light as it was told to be important for readability.

@D-ECHO I see, so you mean this is actually a feature and is something used in RL? I never heard of it :scream: :smile: :+1:

fgfs-screen-289 @D-ECHO @gilbertohasnofb I'm not sold on the idea of having them on. Can we at least turn them down a bit? I've tried to picture the worst case scenario for visibility here. Flying straight into the sun and zoomed out quite far. I can see how the lights help but maybe the effect could be made a bit more subtle? Or at least have everything look the same :D

ghost commented 7 years ago

I think we can add a menu option do en-/disable them and yes, I will add them to every instrument for commonality

gilbertohasnofb commented 7 years ago

@D-ECHO Also, take for instance the AR-3201, every single part of the instrument is being lit, including the background and all white labels. I think that if that instrument does indeed have some form of light, it would be applied only to parts of it, right?

gilbertohasnofb commented 7 years ago

Also, can anyone find a picture of the cockpit showing the instruments with backlight on? The pictures I have seen show no light at all, so it's difficult to judge if our effect is correct or not.

@gilbertohasnofb This is NOT present in RL, it's only added into fg for convenience

gilbertohasnofb commented 7 years ago

I see now, you wrote "fg glider pilots" but I simply read "glider pilots". Oh well, that changes everything then
