ATR 72 very low light cockpit

[waltermeimes2010]

Great aircraft but cockpit is almost dark even with all lights turned on. Difficult to read instruments. Any solution?

Ok, I'm a bit confused here, because the instruments in the ATR are displays which are their own lightsource. Each of them has an individual brightness setting that you can dial up or down as you like. They get more than bright enough to read at any light condition, and are blindingly bright at night at maximum brightness.
So are your display brightness settings maybe just turned very far down?

The only thing in the ATR that stays somewhat dark with all lights turned on is the overhead panel, because the dome lights aren't bright enough and don't scatter their light around enough. But even then the overhead panel is generally bright enough to use without much issue. Every other part of the ATR is very well illuminated and readable with the lights turned on and up, imho.

I found the bright control in the instruments. They are little tricky to use but work well. If I understand is "b" for bright and "c" for contrast.
In fact it seems to me the numbers and letters in the instruments are too small so you have to look at them from very close; the height info for instance. The overhead panel is pretty dark in night flight but there seems to be no solution.
Anyway thanks for the answer.

That one is probably just a monitor/display resolution issue - or the game is telling you that you need glasses. I can read my instruments just fine from the default pilot position on a 34" UWQHD display.

Yes I probably need a bigger and better monitor:)
