How common is it in this type of model? Maybe @tigert or @Juanvvc know about it.\r\n\r\nWe could implement it via a [lightmap](http://wiki.flightgear.org/Howto:Lightmap) that would be created for each individual panel (and interiors as well if necessary). The effect would be something like this (but maybe darker):\r\n\r\n![image](http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRuta17N8dWdlXSsR7D3EVw_95wEqNLXJTpgVXMvPhn6qF2E2GH6A)\r\n\r\nThe image above is from an FSX product, but here is how a lightmap looks in FG:\r\n\r\n![image2](http://wiki.flightgear.org/images/8/8c/Boeing_747-400_lightmap_cockpit.png)\r\n\r\nSo what do you all think about this?

For that we will need:\r\n\r\n- create a clickable switch on top of the aircraft. If that's the case, we can maybe consider creating a proper 3D ceiling panel instead of the current 2D texture we have. What do you all say?\r\n- then we must decide which approach to take for the illumination: would it be possible for instance to simply illuminate certain object faces equally so that we don't need to use the lightmap nor the ALS light techniques? The problem with ALS light is that AFAIK it's dependent on the point of view, and so it will lead to weird effects when panning around the cockpit. Also, it's not uniform but pointed to one direction (@wlbragg please correct me if I am speaking rubbish). \r\n\r\nAny suggestions? @onox what do you think? We can probably decide on this thread what to do and work on the light itself here, and maybe create a new issue for the top panel improvement if that's judged to be necessary.\r\n\r\nAnd thanks once again to both @tigert and @Juanvvc for the detailed answers."}}
