Using Simvar watcher I discovered a new undocumented variable. Does anyone know what value it displays,as well as the maximum and minimum values?
I have tested this simvar to use for automatic screen brightness and it does what you expect, gives a value of the ambient light. The range is quite large as it seems to use the lighting units. In daylight, it can read as much as 20,000.
I found it a little easier to use GLASSCOCKPIT AUTOMATIC BRIGHTNESS but this simvar seems to have steps at day, dusk, night and dawn while the AMBIENT LIGHT SENSOR more smoothly changes.
Sounds like great news!
