Why is this happening? I have tried everything with my light settings and it is still dark at night and just about all blacked out. This is the CS757 and it happens with the PMDG, TFDI and other aircraft. Currently this pic is at IS KATL, which since its add-on doesn't matter, because it does this at a default scenery airport as well. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Ted, have you tried reducing the amount of AI traffic and see if that makes a difference. In some cases, there's something with too much AI and dynamic lighting. Also, does this happen at any camera angle?

I think it has to do with the lighting on the aircraft being different from the lighting on the scenery. If you power up the aircraft and turn on logo light, does the tail light up? Just throwing out an idea here.

Ted,

Is dynamic lighting on in your scenery configurator?
