American Airlines Virtual

I find that cockpits in P3Dv4 seem quite dim. During the day, it seems not much daylight reaches the surfaces. The digital displays are OK, but the other knobs and switches are harder to see than I remember in FSX.

Anyone else have this experience?

I do not have the problem during the day.
Daylight PMDG panel.
Dome light off.
Dome light on.

Changing the HDR setting to off/ on do not do much. The Brightness control is only available with HDR on and it works better at night for the panel but blows the color out during the day.

Also I do not have the "Internal vehicle shadows" activated, do you. The lighting in the Prepared is great and I like the shadows, but the cockpit shadows are a little much at times.
Just saying.
Below the first picture is with the cockpit shadows turned on. QW B787
The second is with them turned off.

SOLVED:
Wayne, that was it! I turned off the in-cockpit shadows and that totally lit up the panels. Thanks.

Mike, I noticed the same earlier this year. Here are pics I took to compare FSX and P3Dv4. Both are from my iFly 737NG.
And at a broader scale I've noticed my colors were more vivid in FSX than in P3D and the quality was not as sharp. I figured it was a config problem and I started trying to adjust using HDR and the brightness/contrast controls. Here are two shots I took, when first getting P3D running, at an Alaskan airport (I think Juneau) from the same perspective and at the same time.
