Panel gauge night lighting discrepancy between FSX & FS2004

[George Carty - HJG]

It seems like on my FSX installation gauges that use the IMAGE_USE_LUMINOUS flag (such as the HJG DC-8 or Convair panels) are lit up even when the panel lighting (normally SHIFT+L) is turned off: could any other FSX users here confirm whether this is normal behaviour in FSX (unlike FS2004, where such gauges are only lit up when panel lighting is on), or if it means there's a problem with my FSX installation, or with my current PC (which currently displays poor-quality panel graphics in FSX unless I run in full-screen mode, and can't run FS2004 at all except through a VMWare virtual machine)?

Please advise,

George

Yes .....as an FSX Steam user I can confirm that the Panel lighting is as you stated. With the Main Inst.LGTS/Off /White switch off... the instruments lights are still lit up.
