Wish Red Needles Were Brighter

[Mongoose]

  I wish the red needles on the altimeter and airspeed dials were brighter.  I have trouble reading the true airspeed and the 10,000 feet because I can't see the red needles.

Red is probably the worst possible color especially when low light.  White would be much better.

Best would be if instruments was back-lit like in real life, can't fly the 190s with fancy lighting on  now, they are just too dark.

Back-lit? They were no LCDs.
If you want to argue "real" - they didn't have those red needles (TAS, total fuel) at all.

post lights, spot illuminators (crew mounted), UV floods and fluorescent paints were more than likely used rather than spot illumination lights mounted in the frame of the gauge (AKA backlit).

If the gauges were lit, would really help at sunrise, dusk and night

Need to use a red-orange or something like that to notice the TAS needle alot easier

It falls under the 605 nanometers & and the way people's eyes rods & cones pick up light and movement in the dark....

Lighted gauges were being used before WWII

Not all things in HT are realistic. If back lighting was not real in WW II, it would still help in the game. I too have a hard time reading the instruments.

 Turn off post processing.  It will make the cockpit brighter and easier to see the dials and needles.

At the expense of other features.   It really does a number on how the game looks.
