So, I was in New York last year to visit a friend. We went up and did the VFR Hudson corridor I think it’s called. The plane was a customized c152 and it had this blue lighting for the 6 pack instruments. It was the color of the light illuminating and it was the coolest thing ever.
On a whim, is it simple to change the color of lights in the cockpit? Anyone know how to do this? Preferably the 6 pack. I’d like to replicate this blue lighting in the simulator myself. I can’t find anything, anywhere on it.
In reality. BLUE lighting of the Cockpit, for night flying is condisidered to be the WORSE thing you could do to destroy your night vision.
In the GAME/SIM maybe it’s “COOL” but I am surprise that anyone thought that was a good idea in Real Life !!!
At least, up to recently, that has always been the CONVENTIONAL thought
After a little research after reading you post, it seems that current thinking may be different, as a Green-blue light, may make the Instruments EASIER to read…
Yeah, he said it’s for visibility at night versus the white lighting that came stock, which was seemingly very old. I just thought it was for aesthetic. Def looked great flying around NY at night!
