Cockpits are tooooo bright. Please give us a toggle as QOL improvement!

In the past I have seen multiple QOL threads asking for a ship cockpit light toggle. Here's another one!

Prior to update 5 the darkened cockpit lighting was great! Had much more of a flying in the darkness of space vibe. Post patch we are back to flying around with a fully lit up cockpit.

Do you drive your car/truck at night with the interior lights on? No, you don't. If you do, you're odd!

Seriously, this would be an amazing QOL. Whether it be a bindable toggle or just an adjustable setting in the panel similar to HUD brightness.

Adjustable setting i would fully get behind, we have it already for the HUD so why not?

People demanded brighter cockpits, we got brighter cockpits. Personally I would be happy if I could turn off the the two lights in my Phantom, they seem superfluous to needs really, not worried about the rest!

I suspect the light level in cockpits bridges is baked in to the general lighting. They seem to have to adjust a whole bunch of things to change it.

No doubt it's harder than we imagine, that codes probably a spaghetti bowl of dependencies and uncommitted and indecipherable nests of code! Oh well!

No idea why those are even there to begin with, I assume they're for the three people in the world who drive on the motorway at night with their map light on.
