Indeed. As in many controlled airspaces one is supposed to use navigation lights during daytime too. Try whether the "LUM +" and "LUM -" controls on the top right of the Electronic Pilot Monitor (EPM) Flight Screen can bring back brightness while nav light ON.
H&H, no the friction was off.
Just very stiff when going through the checks in comparison to the R22.
During flight it's great. Dampens untrained movements.
Yes, it was set to max brightness.
No doubt a software update would fix that.
This has been improved at the beginning of 2016. The nav lights do no more change the backlight level of the EPM.
The new range of adjustment covers the day and the night ranges of the former version.
The dashboard illumination has also been improved.
