WANTED : increasing instrument lights for all our "steam gauge" GA planes

Exactly!

Maybe it still wasn´t presented clear enough…

Those screenshots further up show 2 different light conditions, as examples for non-optimal daylight situations, that may occur during different daytimes.

Those 2 “scenes” are represented as 1 (= “scene 1”) and 2 (= “scene 2”).

The images 1a and 2a show, how it looks, when instrument lights are OFF.
Instruments are very hard to read.

Images 1b and 2b show the same situation and outside light conditions, but instrument lights are ON, which will make instruments a bit better readable.

Images 1c and 2c still show the same situation and outside light, but instrument lights are modified in a way, so they are about 6 times brighter than the plane addon would originally allow it. Now ALL instruments are MUCH better readable, also in those non-optimal outside light conditions.

I know how to edit the mentioned mod for the Cessna 152, to get so much brighter instrument lights. It is totally easy to achieve, as mentioned.

So you can read instuments MUCH better, on ANY hardware, no matter if your monitor is as small as a smartphone or as huge as an iMax movie screen. It is so much improving readability and still can be reduced by a “rotary knob” in the cockpit, if it may be too bright at nights or anything alike.

So, this thread is meant to look for answers, how to edit something for each and every other GA plane, to make instrument lights much brighter, to improve them in the same way as mentioned in here.

As there is no “one fits all” solution, every plane addon may be different to modify to get this result. So we need to collect info from people, who know, how it definitely can be done for each and every different GA plane.

No other hardware or software solutions needed. No shopping spree needed.
We just need the info, what parameter(s) to edit, as in the example for the C152 mod.

I hope, i could finally explain the background of this thread well, what it is supposed to achieve.
