Dirty canopy prevents from seeing ennemy

We(DCS forum members) as a community were trying to help each other out to find find a temporary fix for this issue.

Sithspawn deleted my temporary fix post and closed the thread. A bit uncool if you ask me. Sith, if you're reading this, you've helped me fix my dcs troubles in the past and for that I thank you.

But... stopping us from helping each other out with temporary fixes to known problems in modules we've paid money for is not very cool. So here Is the temporary fix for everyone to try out.

I understand Belsimtek is aware of this issue, but until there is an official fix we should be allowed to find find a temporary one since we did pay money for this module.

This deleting has been going on for a while, though I never understood the reason for it. Is it because links usually pointed to the "unnamed website" (example above), which, for some other mysterious reason, seems to be banned for eternity on ED forums?

hate to see this :( One of the reason why I wont get into early war jets or the warbird, becouse someone will allways seek for an advantage while someone would like to keep it as it is................ Hopefully, it will be better when it gets more populare and about the spotting yall just gotta give it time becouse it will be better but only with better resolution........

Adding a layer of "fake reflection" to canopy texture has always been the most simple and framerate friendly way of increasing realism / immersion, but with this old renderer, in some specific lighting conditions, it just doesn't work properly. Hopefully EDGE improvements will make this issue go away.

If you "won't get into early jets," then I assume you don't know how bad it really is. This isn't "seeking an unfair advantage," it's fixing a real problem. You can't see half as well since they put this painted-on texture inside the canopy and the MiG-15 is probably the hardest thing to spot in-game right now. It's a recipe for absolute misery and it wasn't like this when the Sabre was first released. This mod just reverts it to how it used to be.

Also noteworthy is that the MiG-15 doesn't have nearly the same level of reflection problems. If you're flying vanilla they're guaranteed to see you long before you ever know they're there (unless of course they're contrailing).

I can understand they may frown upon bitly links but deleting the whole thread seems rather extreme...

I appreciate your guys' support. And yes this isn't to gain an unfair advantage. On the contrary it is to even out the spotting odds against the primary rival Mig-15 which seems to have spic and span clean cockpit windows
