Hardy- I was flying PSX on my Mac after quite a while away from Mac OS, and noted that the Exec light is very hard to see (unlike on Windows). It blends in quite well with the Boeing Brown.
Is there something I can do at my end to make it more obvious? Ta!

hi - what i see.....
Mac Mini with Eizo monitor
in full daylight
with the MDT on BRT, the exec looks bright
with MDT on DIM, the exec lamp seems to merge with the background brown...
after pressing EXEC, the lamp is dark grey
at Night: the dim exec is visible...
Carl, check if your MDT is on Dim....

Carl, as Farrokh wrote, you've set your "MD & T" switch to DIM mode which reduces the brightness of all your system lights by 57 % (12 volt instead of 28 volt). You shouldn't do this during daylight. On the real aircraft (and in PSX obviously) you will hardly see any electric illumination because the sun is much brighter. You should only do this at night and when the panel flood lights are off (or almost off).
For the ratio of electric light brightness versus sunlight brightness, the simulation cannot show sunlit parts in real blinding, sunlight brightness, So, to keep the ratio, the simulation has to decrease the electric light brightness (like a camera with a shorter exposure setting).

Yep- my last Mac flight must have been at night. As usual, the problem is firmly behind the yoke.
