This is a quick reference guide for everyone planning on going on NIGHT missions.
There is a lot of places you can adjust lighting and brightness in the A-10C!

I was made for personal use, but decided to share with others who like to venture out in the darkness of night with the A-10C or A-10C II

So here is a quick and dirty reference lighting/brightness guide with screenshots taken from the official ED manual.

Hope you find it useful.

This mod reduces the size of the light beam to make them look more realistic and less like a simple texture. Also improved the effect of the strobe and landing gear lighs which now look like a pulsing star closer to the effect in real life.

Little more realistic navigation lights glow for MiG-29

Use the MiG-21bis flashlight as a floodlight.

JSGME ready improved PDL lights (Pilot Director Lights) for the KC-135 tanker (and MPRS). Especially useful for VR users. It's a compromise of making the textures more intense while increasing the contrast of the others as well as darkening them a bit. Unfortunately, the a2refueling approach lights aren't really lights in DCS, just a customized texture. Now, with this modification, it's much easier to see the lighting on the tanker. Good luck in A2R!

I've been bothered with not being able to tell if the master caution and left fire or right fire lights were illuminated or not, because either way they were too whitewashed to tell.
So I jumped into the textures and tweaked it a bit.  Simple as that.

UPDATED 2/13/2023: There was an issue where during low light, the panel would have excessive glow.  This has been fixed.
