571: FIP Gauge Lights on Automatically

April 23, 2020April 23, 2020 | Tom Tsui

Some of my FIP Gauges developed for FSX/P3D come with the backlight feature. By disabling the “Pilot controls aircraft lights” in Realism setting, the backlight will turn on automatically when night falls. I wasn’t aware of that before since I always have this option enabled.

Considering applying lights automatically really adds fun, probably I should spend some time updating more of my other gauges with backlights accordingly.

  Good eyes, David.
  It is a new integrated instrument being developed to supplement different aircraft setups. It will include the Annunciator panel, DME1 & 2, OAT & VOLTS, ADF, XPDR, Light Indicators and Auto pilot display.
  The Annunciator panel, by design, can be switched to match with different aircraft.
  Features have not been finalized, yet.
