I dont understand why just because a vocal part of the community complained about the new lighting the silent majority that said nothing now have to suffer this new bright lighting in the cockpit. A lot of us Im sure loved the dark cockpits of the old ships like the Python. Now this has been ruined. We used to fly these older ship because the lighting in say the Krait was ridiculous. I mean who in their right mind drives down the highway in the middle of the night with their internal light on? Let alone explore the depths of space. When you are in a plane flying at 50000 feet at night you dont try look out the window while the cabin lights are on during meal service . Why cant we just choose our on goddam lighting level for the cockpits. This really sucks.
Goddam Bright Cockpit Lighting!!

Oh yeah, the classic "the silent majority" agree with me, opposed to the people who disagree with me "the vocal minority".
Ya i think alot of us were (myself included) jarred by how dark the cockpit was until i found the setting to turn up the lighting. I think it got conflated with the skybox being so dark as well. - it is better if we can set our own preferred internal lighting.
Darn, you were faster.
Wanted to leave a snarky comment about the every looming "silent majority" also...

We should just be able to dim the lights to the level we want. It's our ship after all?
Btw, what you see from the cockpit is about the same as what you "hear" from space. It's all augmented reality, so I don't worry too much about low light vision, etc.

so is there a ENB out for this now
Remember when you couldn't adjust the brightness level for automobile convenience lighting? ...me either.
but you could turn them off
They can never win.
I mean, I immediately stop listening/reading as soon as someone claims to represent the silent majority.
This was a band aid fix to address the actual lighting problems with the dark skybox. Alot of people wanted the skybox lighting to be fixed, but instead we got a half baked attempt at a fix rather than anything being done to actually address the root cause of the issue. Same with performance and the new AMD Fidelity system. Playing at lower supersampling and then upscaling it with Fidelity is not a form of optimization, it's playing at a lower resolution than what you were playing on before pre- Odyssey.
yeah it's the skybox that needs brightening so that we can see the variation in space again, like in Horizons, without having to turn the Gamma all the way up. It seems like they've done everything else - brightening stars in the skybox, fixing neutron stars, updating cockpit lights, but the main thing that people are complaining about when it comes to darkness is still not fixed, and I believe it's barely been acknowledged other than one comment in a stream that space is too dark. It just seems like such a weird disconnect from the customers some times - probably being worked on but no updates being provided, and we're back to the inconsistent communications again. IDK ... frustrating!
