Cockpit lights

[Lt.Loony]

I have noticed that when I look down at my body there appears to be a bright white light shining on me. I cannot see where it is coming from, but my body is always lit.
Is there a way to turn off this light? I would prefer to have only star light lighting things up my cockpit. The HUD lights I am fine with.
Must add I noticed this in the Viper MKIII and MKIV

Do you have your ship lights on?

I believe the spotlights illuminating the character were made much brighter with 2.3. The lights are strategically placed around the cockpit roof; the locations are different for each ship but in the AspX I'm currently flying, there's a large, long one at centre top, and two smaller ones at the sides at 45 degrees; together they give all-around illumination.

I would assume the reasoning from FD is, "We went to a lot of trouble to give you the holo-me avatar creator; why would you want to make things so dark you couldn't see your character?"

Must be limited to certain ships, my Cobra Mk. III's still dark inside (aside from glow from indicator lights and a few cabin lights way behind the seat) when not being lit from an external source.

Probably is related to HoloMe, as Sapyx said. Also probably why the Anaconda cockpit was altered when the Multicrew patch went live (and then had to be tweaked later because players didn't like it).


Anyway, I'd suggest posting on the official Elite Dangerous forums about this if you don't like it, as Frontier doesn't really see feedback posted on the Steam forums. ( https://forums.frontier.co.uk/forumdisplay.php/76-Suggestions-amp-Feedback )

Maybe I will indeed post on official forum or maybe I just need to look for a darker ship.
Thanks for suggestions :-)
