In the mean time I came up with this solution:
You should be able to adjust your brightness levels in Display Settings -> Advanced. And you should be able to set hotkeys to change your settings in flight. Save a couple of color settings and then while running FS use the hotkeys to find a playable brigthness level...
Works in other games as well.
cheers - have tried that, but does not seem to work, unless it does not like using the F keys?
I have alt + f2 to change gamma
and also alt+f3 to change brightness
nothing happens

I will probably have to get another monitor
