Gauge Lighting... (Read 454 times)

I downloaded the Cessna 206 in the FSX props section, and even though the author claimed it was for FSX, my system did NOT like the panel. After sitting and clicking on gauge errors for a few minutes to load the aircraft, I re-built the panel. The problem I ran into is that I can take a gauge that looks fine in one aircraft, but when I put it into my panel, it's got that unrealistic red/pinkish glow at night. I can't figure it out. Anyone know how to change the gauge lighting?

Edit your panel.cfg file:

[Color]
Day=255,255,255
Night=160,160,160
Luminous=120,120,120

The Luminous= entry sets the "color and brightness" of gauges. These are RGB numbers (0 = dark, 255 = bright)

Thus, 120,120,120 is a "soft white"
