Edit cam.cfg and reduce the gamma value there. With full gamma in the
Options, mine reads gamma 0.5 in cam.cfg. If I reduce that to 0.2
it's as bright as day.

Ok Spud and Albert, I transmit to my nephew,

I'll let you know the results soon...

Many thanks, nice to get solutions so quickly...

PROBLEM FIXED = Nephew happy

The solution of Spud works perfectly, with gamma on 0.3.

Now, each modification on the in-game settings seems to restore
the value to 0.5, so we found useful keeping a shortcut of the
cam.cfg on the desk...

Thanks again and best regards
