I changed the aircraft flashlights to red

Title. I changed the flashlights to red for accuracy (as I’ve seen IRL aviation videos and their head-mounted lights are always red).

Let me know if you guys want a download, and I’ll link it later if you do.

I don’t believe the “flashlight” works outside the aircraft. You can see it on the wing etc from inside but you can’t use it in a “walk around” for instance.

Yes, that’s right. I haven’t checked the behavior of the flashlight outside. I think it only works in the cockpit.

I have an ophthalmology background and can tell you that red light is used because it helps preserves night vision.

Yep, that makes sense too. Not a glaring white bright light sure helps keep the strain off your eyes.
Anyways, just message here if there are any changes I can make to the mod.

Good job with this. I had actually posted a request about it.

Nice work! Any chance of it landing on GitHub and or made into a Community folder mod?

Pretty much this. You do your walk around with a nice bright LED flashlight but hop into the cold cockpit with a red tinted light to ease the vision adjustment and maintain it.

Works great!. Thanks much.

This is great! Mind if I update my file with yours? I’ll give you credit on the page.

Now supports drag+drop into community folder! Thanks to @HIGHMEMFIX1 for the conversion (I gave credit in the README and changelog). Enjoy!
