AEA Explorer 500T Update

Green is the worst colour for night vision, our eyes don't adjust to darkness while exposed to it and take longer to adjust afterwards.  Red is safer.  We adjust to it better.
Bright green LED traffic lights are potentially lethal at night.

good to know. now i wont have to do green  maybe was the Saint Patty's Day thing that got me.

flip of a switch is all it takes to go from one color to the other. and you can adjust brightness for the panel lights. the surround panel lights are kind of a booster for switch light and reading text on the panel if your dim with the spot lights.

i want that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. 

500T update is now live. some update info on this page: https://www.x-hangar.com/store/updates.html
and it is a good idea to check that page a few times a year so you can be informed and download the updates you need or want.

and i had to do a rewind on the hobbs clock for the new hobbs awards on the dashboard or panel top. if this kind of thing is a PIA let me know. i wont have it installed by default next time. likers can install in Planemaker if they are the few. feedback is helpful.

and any comments feel free for improvements.

enjoy the flights. if you use v12 i think you will like the new lights better.

reuploading now in case anyone grabbed it. had to fix a couple things and added a bit of shine and metal to some parts.

should be good to go now.

reuploading again. now has better rheostats for the panel lights. can hold or click. and regions are better placed. will be applying the same concept to the 750T soon.

brand new prop. found a few stress cracks in the old one.  and it's a little shorter. had a prop strike last week when i landed too hard. oops. x-plane's dampening is usually pretty soft on the front. same with the rear on a taildragger. been that way for over 20 years.

ended up placing a display that doesn't need folded out every time. and folded in when adjusting switches. and 2 more liveries to dry. meet bugout bag blue and old yellow sonny weston.
