Why Is The CAlclassics DC7 Panel so dark?

I fly a DC-7C from Calclassics and at night I cannot see the upper panel where the light switches and auto pilot is, this is very critical when making a night IFR approach. I read I think in the calclassics panel DC-7C instructions that I would have to put some lines in the aircraft cfg section to make the panel brighter?

Cheers

Hi,

There are vclight lines in the Lights section of the aircraft.cfg file starting with // - remove those slashes to add more light to the VC. Remove them until it's bright enough for you.

Hope this helps,
 
Tom is an ace with aircraft.cfg -- I take them for granted and then another gem like this surfaces.

Next time I take one of the Douglas propliners for a trip I'll end up sitting and combing through the config file for a half hour just to see if I can remember all the things the guys at Cal Classics have put in it.

I should probably read the Readme files too one of these days...:engel016:

Thank you Tom & Co. !
