All exterior Aircraft and cockpit too dark to see

[jakhanis]

When I do early morning/night flights. The cockpit and exterior. Look very dark. In the cockpit its extremely hard to see the controls unless the cockpit interior light is on. If its day time the interior can be seen in great detailed. Exterior plane is very dark at night and also in the morning. Cannot see logos/writing on the plane. Even if the plane is parked at jetway. Airport lighting does not make plane visible. I have troubled issue. Even read online forums from sites about issue. Having trouble trying to find an answer to resolve problem. I like prepar3d. I hope support has a fix. Below are pc/software information.

I recently discovered there's a great potential in setting the monitor to a better mode making dark cockpits much better readable. Check the different modes of your monitor, like Game, Video, etc.
When I'm home I can have a look again, what my settings are now. I use a Samsung C27F390.
