Turn Display text RED at night

[Strasso57]

At night, my aircraft cockpit and it's displays are in RED light.
Are there any updates, thoughts, discussions for the ability to turn the glaring white text on my M3 display RED at night?

I doubt this will ever be a thing but you never know, maybe try tweeting Elon . You can manually turn down the brightness of the display if it's too bright for you.

Night vision red light (used on airplanes and boats) is really only useful when the environment is pitch dark. It’s not helpful when you have bright lights outside all the time (like your own headlights, other cars, street lights, etc.). Sounds like a good idea but not really made for the world cars drive in, unfortunately.

It’s great on the water and in the skies because it keeps your night vision and you can more easily see other vehicles that only have dim running lights. They are usually not using bright lights unless near airports or (boats) a searchlight looking for something. If they were, that would kill your night vision.

I think what more people would want is a bigger font. The red/amber display at night is okay. BMWs have them and it makes the instrument panel a bit better for night vision but as @boaterva says, bright headlights will quickly ruin it.

Good point, larger size with the auto-dim would definitely help ease of reading at night!

In addition to what others said, you have control of the screen brightness. If you wish, you can dim the screen a lot at night. Also, you can turn off the others cabin lights or put in red cabin lights. Don't see it as a problem.

Actually, it has been determined that dim green is actually better than red and many night displays have now gone to that. What Color Light Should You use at Night to Protect Your Night Vision
