Re: [Flightgear-devel] Light inside the cockpit
Yep, you have control's light but you cannot see nothing inside cockpit. You cannot see the position of the controls, or switch positions, etc. I'm talking about put inside a switch with the inside light like in cars... That's because I love 3D cockpits. Makes feel like real planes...

I'm not sure if there are any others, it depends on the aircraft designer. To which ac are you referring?

[Flightgear-devel] Light inside the cockpit
Hello all I was fliying at night yesterday and found that is very dificult to see the controls inside de cockpit. I think that would be nice to have a inside cockpit light or somethig similar. Can we switch on/off position lights? Another issue I was seeing is that on SMP computers, one of the processors is always idle. Are you using threads? The latest version 0.9.10 crashes a lot on amd64, should I report gdb backtraces? The simulator is great. I really love this. Great job. -- Gonzalo Aguilar Delgado - Ingeniero en Informática [ Seguridad Medios de pago ] ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/flightgear-devel

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Light inside the cockpit
The P51D model has this. There is a dimmer switch on the console panel just right of center. In order to set up general lighting in the cockpit you simply need to group the objects that need to be lit together and apply a low level of emissive output via material animation. This technique won't be precisely correct because it totally lacks shading, but the effect is reasonably accurate due to the low light level, and of course it makes it possible to see the inside of a cockpit at night.
