Florescent Dials
Florescent Dials
Isn't it true that German aircraft had florescent paint on their instrument dials so that it was unnecessary to turn on the cockpit lights to see the instruments? In fact, did they not have "black lights" to help read the florescent dials? Is this feature not on the 219 because FS2004 doesn't support this feature? And, I do wish I could fire those batteries of cannon, sob.

Well, the Uhu was definitely fitted with UV lighting, but sophisticated in-cockpit lighting is one thing FS doesn't do well. All sorts of hoops have to be jumped through to get night lighting that even approximates what is available in combinations IRL. I have seen a picture of VC lighting modified to have a green fluoro effect in th He219, but I don't remember where.stapme! wrote:Isn't it true that German aircraft had florescent paint on their instrument dials so that it was unnecessary to turn on the cockpit lights to see the instruments?

Simon, did you recieve the picture that you requested from me?
Snave, can you tell where you got the UV cockpit lighting from?
I checked over at the link Nick posted but upon going to Avsim, the Library says they ain't there.

Yes, cheers Nick - it's now my desktop at home (and at work!), thanks! I did send a `thankyou` via email, probably spam-blocked!Nick C wrote:http://forums.simflight.com/viewtopic.php?t=50359snave wrote:I have seen a picture of VC lighting modified to have a green fluoro effect in th He219, but I don't remember where.
