Wondering whos tired of having Bright White Cockpit lights ?? I may have found a cool fix, to turn your cockpit lights Red,, not real bright, but, better than feeling like your in an Emergency Room waiting for surgery ! I'm playing around with it right now,,, I'll get back with you all soon as I make sure it works in most aircraft default and add on's,, Stay Tuned !!

I have mine set as light cyan, like in my own planes.

Up is the way to go.

Just switch your cockpit lighting out with lights from another plane.
This is the lights section from the default King Air 350 aircraft cfg.

[LIGHTS]
//Types: 1=beacon, 2=strobe, 3=navigation, 4=cockpit
light.0 = 3, 0.56, -28.41, 1.97, fx_navred ,
light.1 = 3, 0.56, 28.41, 1.97, fx_navgre ,
light.2 = 3, -31.20, 0.00, 9.75, fx_navwhi ,
light.3 = 2, 0.89, -28.48, 1.87, fx_strobe ,
light.4 = 2, 0.89, 28.48, 1.87, fx_strobe ,
light.5 = 1, -26.30, 0.00, 9.89, fx_beacon ,
light.6 = 2, -4.55, 0.00, -1.85, fx_strobe ,
light.7 = 4, 4.91, 0.00, 1.64, fx_vclight,

Find cockpit lighting that you like and switch it with fx_vclight.
If you're into red, Tim Conrad's planes have deep red cockpit lighting.

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"
