Perhaps on realism settings??

Have you contacted the person who wrote (made) the liveries for that plane? Where did you get them?

I actually do not use ATC at all. I prefer to just fly :) not all do it this way, but for me, it is what works.

RE-VR, it is wonderful!!! Takes some tweaking to get it "the way you want it" but it is a game changer!!

Not sure if this will help- https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/a-workaround-for-fps-drop-after-a-long-flight/437116

The standard (least from what I've seen on You Tube, is 30 FPS (or better). Some people are locked in at 30 FPS and have a blast flying! Others try to get every extra frame they can. From my perspective, FPS fluctuates like the stock market, it can go up and down like crazy, just depends on where exactly I am flying and what else is going on. I've been flying in NYC and getting 50-60 FPS, but then I will fly over a crowded section of the city and have it drop to 31 FPS. I am still going very smooth and if I did not have the FPS counter going, I would not have noticed. It honestly depends on what you are looking to get out of the sim. :)

Hmm, will attempt that as well.

Could also be caused by a mod not playing nice ??

Which AC? On the C172, there are two knobs to the lower right of the yoke. On some, pressing "L" will turn them on as well.

And what AC and if any mods are being used?

Slight exaggeration :) although it did take me a few minutes to find the switch's to dim the lights.

Yep, been using them. Prior to the latest patch, they were always set to their lowest settings, however now, they are at their highest. Looking for a way inside one of the config files to lower the setting, thus far, nothing :(

That is a good keystroke to use. My problem is though, the sim starts out TOO bright, lol, I have to spend a couple of minutes adjusting the lightning to a lower setting. For some reason, the glareshield is on FULL and the flood lights in the ceiling of the 172 are always on upon startup. I would like them both turned down and/or off upon startup. This occurs even in full daylight. At night, it is very overwhelming

Think it defaults to 8 gigs

Yes I have. This affects the two AC that I fly, the C172 (stock) and the 3rd party add on, Just Flight's PA 28

KCRQ to KSAN

Could that option be turned off in the sim?

Fixed. Was able to find someone elses Worldmapfilters.xml file. Strange though

Which AC are you trying to do this on? Each AC has it own way to turn up the amount of light.

Interesting problem (which perhaps I caused, lol) My world map is stuck on the Weather icon look. I like the satellite view. Does not really affect how I set up my flights, I just would like to get it fixed. Also, the filters are gone as well. (see attached screenshot, the grey box at the bottom is where the filters should be. I have narrowed down the problem to this area "AppData\Local\Packages\MSFLIGHT SIM\LOCAL CACHE\PACKAGES\Official\OneStore\fs-base\worldmap". I open up the WorldmapFilters.xml and I would change two values TYPE_RNAV_FIX & TYPE_NAVAID I would have to do this after each update. This changes the sim to have the RNAV and Navaids ALWAYS being displayed on the map. I have reset these values back to what they were, nothing changes. I have removed the WorldmapFilters.xml file from the directory (in the hopes it would be recreated once the sim relaunches, nothing Any suggestions are welcome

Think it depends on the AC. I was actually complaining/looking for assistance for this because they were TOO bright. You can try "L" on the keyboard, that should turn them on, though it may not always work.

Just a thought, but have you changed the realism settings to "easy"?? Not sure if that would matter..............

Thanks Tim, that was what I was looking for. Unfortunately, it did not do anything. Found out it's another panel the glarescreen. I turned it WAY down, but I am not sure if there is an option to have it set at that setting upon startup. This is what it looks like when I first get into the AC

Since the update I have found on several AC (C172 and Just Flight's PA-28) that the cockpit panel lights are on, and on full. Trying to turn them down is a pain :) Is there a setting I can change to turn them off, or reduce them??

Well, I will check for it :)
