So if you are like me here is the tip:
change the following variables in the files "your CFS2 folder"\situatio\defgnd.flt and
"your CFS2 folder"\situatio\defair.flt (the first is for flights starting on the ground, the
second for flights starting in the air).
You can just cut and paste replacing the original section [Window.1]
[Window.1]If you also would like the light on in the cockpit (it's often so dark even in full susnshine that you probably do) just find the [Gauges] section; at the bottom, turn the variable PanelLights=True
Order=0
Active=True
Undocked=False
Maximized=False
ManualMaxed=False
;ScreenUniCoords=0,0,8192,6144
