March 2Mar 2 Hi all, Just a quick question: in MSFS2024 not beta, I have noticed that the headlamp (torchlight? flashlight?) does not illuminate anything in the cockpit ? It does illuminate the ground and external model elements, but anything which is part of the virtual cockpit, may it be the instruments, panels, objets, or the copilot, are not affected by the light. Everything stays dark. Has anybody experienced this problem ? I tried searching but 99% of the returned results are about how to turn the headlight on or off... Also, can anybody confirm the headlamp is red ? It used to be white in the early MSFS2020 days, then turned red out of nowhere, and I think it had always been red in MSFS2024 ?

March 2Mar 2 By chance do you have Chaseplane installed? Chaseplane changes the light and seems to make things a lot harder to see. You can turn the custom light off in the Chaseplane options and go back to the default. ------------------------- Craig from KBUF

March 2Mar 2 Alt + L turns flashlight on/off, can confirm it's white in MSFS 2020/2024, no probs here illuminates area you would expect a flashlight does. Edited March 2Mar 2 by JustanotherPilot YBCG

Flashlight works perfectly for me, and it has always been white in both 2020 and 2024. I think I have seen some add-ons that change the color of the light, you said your flashlight was red, so maybe you do have something installed changing it.

March 2Mar 2 Author The problem with the red flashlight is that back in MSFS2020, I had deactivated all of my addons (community emptied) and it didn't resolve the issue, flashlight was still red. In MSFS2024 the deactivation of addons (including the steamed ones) is even worse, so I'm not really looking forward to deactivate them all. However I'm 100% certain that I have never installed any mod related to flashlight. I know there's a mod to make the flashlight specifically red, but I have not installed it in my sims (MSFS or MSFS2024). So I'm really curious... And again, the color is just a part of the problem. I can live with a red flashlight, it's ok. The real problem is that this flashlight refuses to illuminate anything in the cockpit. It illuminates everything else, but not the inside of the plane. This is just incomprehensible...
March 3Mar 3 Could it be this mod you could have installed at some stage and isn't compatible with MSFS 2024 and might be causing cockpit illumination issues. https://flightsim.to/addon/918/red-flashlight-night-mod Edited March 3Mar 3 by JustanotherPilot YBCG
March 3Mar 3 Author Thanks, but as I have written above, I have never installed any flashlight mod in MSFS or MSFS2024 🙂
