Exactly!
There is another, older thread, discussing the sim´s “eye adaption”, which dynamically makes the cockpit brighter or darker, depending of your field of view. This “feature” is much more working like an older camera and not like the human eye, which is capable of differentiating MUCH bigger ranges from “bright to dark” tones. This adaption feature can´t be turned off, so something else, which can be done today is welcome: editing instrument lights to get them MUCH brighter (as mentioned) can absolutely solve this issue.
@ N6722C I think you know this thread well, but others might be interested in reading this too, to get an deeper insight and additional info, to deepdive the “rabbit hole” too…
