Every Time

REPRODUCTION STEPS

Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:

  1. In free flight, start a flight cold-n-dark in the Cap-4 Paulistinha at any airport at night.
  2. Enter the aircraft (no need to do the walk-around). Turn off the flashlight.
  3. Note the Transponder is illuminated (Screenshot #1). The Com Radio is off & dark, as expected.
  4. Turn on the battery & avionics by toggling their switches at the back of the plane (use the flashlight if required).
  5. Turn on the COM Radio. Note that it now illuminates incorrectly (Screenshot #2). None of the COM frequencies can be seen.
  6. Turn on the Transponder (STDBY, GND, ON or ALT).
  7. Use the XPDR TUNE button to highlight the first digit,. Note how it becomes white & unreadable All digits exhibit this behavior (Screenshot #3).
  8. Use the weather widget in the toolbar to slowly change the time to daylight. Note how the excessive white bloom fades & the COM & transponder frequencies become visible (Screenshot #4). Conversely, moving from day to night will increase the white bloom again.
  9. The COM has black numbers on a white background. It appears to be the opposite of what it should be (white numbers on a black background), but may be correct in real-life (and so not a bug).
