Same issue with the Icon…screen was very dim and I couldn’t figure out how to fix that.

• Same Issue for me in the DC-3

Same here, is it some kind of auto brightness feature as it’s readable in broad daylight but as it gets dark, the display gets dimmer and dimmer until black.

Such low hanging fruit, disappointed this wasn’t fixed in the patch that just dropped.

This seemed to be fixed in the most recent SU3 beta build (1.5.10.0) - display was plenty bright at night.

Latest version 1.5.27.0 still black……..

FIXED in version 1.6.11.0 SU4 beta.
