Remember that your customisations will be lost if you reset XCTrack Pro interface with AIR³ Manager, if you change the profile (Kiss, Easy, Expert, Paramotor) or if you load a different configuration file ‘xcfg’.

The widget gives the opportunity to decrease or increase the brightness of display backlight by steps of 10%
You can decide if you want to activate the widget with a short click or a long press.
The last drop down list is used to decide if the widget change the increase or the decrease of the brightness.
The Air³ 7.2 benefits from a 1000 nits screen. This allows you to have a very good readability of the information displayed. However, maximum brightness is also very energy consuming, which means an autonomy decrease. This is one of the reason why the AIR³ Base has been designed. Tilting the screen is the most efficient way to increase readability.
Alternatively, this widget allowing the pilot to easily reduce or increase the brightness according to the needs, is another way to increase pretty much the autonomy.
Depending on your choice (decrease or increase), the widget gets a + or a – in the center.
