Altimeter Needle Shading

Post by jfwharton » Wed Nov 28, 2018 8:49 pm

The thousands and ten thousands altimeter needles appear to have a shading to them that makes them darker. This shading is pronounced during night flying when the instruments lights are turned on.

Steps To Reproduce
Zoom in on either altimeter and observe the difference in shading on the altimeter needles. Then change the time to night, turn on the instrument lights and you will see a drastic difference in shading. The thousands needle becomes completely black and the ten thousands needle has a partial black shading on it.

I have attached screenshots.

I had to look twice to make sure this is the FSX/P3D version. ;)

Thank you for your report. I've made a note to check the lighting for those two needles. :ugeek:
