It seems you are using the Fenix A320. Please contact Fenix directly with your issue.

I have tried to reproduce in the default Asobo A320neo and it looks fine.

[OfficerBakon]

I thought it was that too, so I tried it with the default A320 NEO and got the same result.

Are the Panel lights on?

[OfficerBakon]

Yes, DOME lights set to BRT.

In the screenshots you provided your floodlights weren’t on, as wasn’t on the panel’s backlighting. You mean the cockpit’s colors seem dark or the lights are too dark for you? Because with floodlights and panel backlighting set to half, it’s all very clear (at least to me).

I have noticed this issue too. It seems to be worst at overcast weather. Until now I never had to use floodlights and backlighting at noon…

Something seems to be off with the auto exposure function (for non-HDR displays)

To reduce the problem, I had to turn my monitor brighter and change to a lower gamma mode.
