Both FS20 and FS24. Potentiometer 30 is not defined and 99 is not used either.
I use Pot 30 for cockpit text and lamps.

Here is an old screenshot of the same situation. PFD at full brightness.

Hello @MrTommymxr ,
This is an old template and I’m afraid we can’t make a fix as it will cause some regression.
This is caused by a condition where we check SIMVAR_POWER_SETTING and then the potentiometer 30 is used.
As a workaround, I think you can create a new template based on the ASOBO_AS1000_Template, and only modify this section:
<Switch>
<Case Check="SIMVAR_POWER_SETTING">
<GET_POTENTIOMETER>#MAX_EMISSIVE_PERCENT# #SCREEN_MIN_EMISSIVE_PERCENT# - (L:AS1000_#FUNCTION#_Brightness, number) * #SCREEN_MIN_EMISSIVE_PERCENT# + (L:AS1000_#FUNCTION#_Brightness_IsAuto, Bool) ! * @AutomaticBrightnessFactor (L:AS1000_#FUNCTION#_Brightness_IsAuto, Bool) * + (A:#SIMVAR_POWER_SETTING#, Percent over 100) *</GET_POTENTIOMETER>
</Case>
<Default>
<GET_POTENTIOMETER>#MAX_EMISSIVE_PERCENT# #SCREEN_MIN_EMISSIVE_PERCENT# - (L:AS1000_#FUNCTION#_Brightness, number) * #SCREEN_MIN_EMISSIVE_PERCENT# + (L:AS1000_#FUNCTION#_Brightness_IsAuto, Bool) ! * @AutomaticBrightnessFactor (L:AS1000_#FUNCTION#_Brightness_IsAuto, Bool) * + (A:LIGHT POTENTIOMETER:#POTENTIOMETER#, Percent over 100) *</GET_POTENTIOMETER>
</Default>
</Switch>
If you never want to use the power setting, you can probably remove everything except the second <GET_POTENTIOMETER>.
If you want to support both behaviors, you can replace Check with Valid. Then, if you set SIMVAR_POWER_SETTING to an empty string or to 0 / false, it will fall back to using the potentiometer.
Hope it helps,
Regards,
I switched to Lvars instead.
