    Instrument Panel Lights in Ju 88 not working?

    I went up in a single mission dawn attack on Tobruk, cranked both primary and secondary illumination to 100% . Only the secondary (desk lamp on the left side) worked. Instruments are dark. Is there some other control to map for the instrument lighting? IIRC each instrument had its own light and would illuminate with primary.
    Thanks,

    How do you fly it at night? Or you mean the lights are not done (yet) in CloD? Is this legacy unfinished work from Maddox days?

    Flying one night mission on a TF(?)-server I can confirm this for the Ju-88 C2. As a (crude) workaround one can switch on the main light illuminating the whole pilots area. Would have blinded you for looking outside in Real Life, but here one can manage. For the engine-instruments at the still dark right side there's the mouse-over giving away the data. One can go like this, but it's definitely not immersive ...

    But: scaling down the illumination of the revi-vizier is done very well, so there's hope.

    During that night-mission the AAA was perfectly able to shoot at me through the pitch dark night, without any searchlights. I did not forget to switch off landing- or navigational-lights, because there are none. At the moment I'm not that optimistic for the Il2-CloD-series offering somewhat realistic night-flight experience. Sadly IL2-GB doesn't, too. I really would love to hear the contrary.

    It certainly has the potential to offer the real experience. IMHO I'd prefer TFS allocate time to completing the sim instead of more content.

    I have asked about this for years I think its just way down on the food chain and with tobruk everyone will probably have their hands full with much more important stuff so just take out your front gun turn up secondary lighting and hope for the best its horrible but that's how it is

    Gunsight and primary lighting have always worked in the A1, secondary has never worked. You can usually see the right-hand gauges if you zoom way in, or even move to the bombardier position.

    Sorry, I meant secondary not working. I got them backwards. For some reason I thought being able to see the instruments was primary. The other is a map light.

    Re: Instrument Panel Lights in Ju 88 not working?

    Guys,
    I went to the source on Ju 88 instrument panel lighting from the guy who restored one in Norway.
    Here is his response:

    Hi there

    the Ju 88 instruments are lit up by light bezels and a dim yellow light, we have never lit up our panel as all the wires are original so we don`t dare put power on them ( but i have tried a couple mint original lamps thatw e had to replace a few corroded ones on our panel but thia was 14 years ago so i dont have any pictures of just that sadly

    the bezels are made out of bakelite and seen with painted colors on here ( the bulb goes under the round part and its a opening all around the bezel that evenly spread the light over the instrument
