[FIXED] Radar/Datalink targets are too bright and unreadable

Attached are three pictures of my datalink screen, as you can see It's simply too bright to take a good reading on it. Moreover, target info such as type/ID/altitude in the radar are too small as well(pic3). I gotta zoom in extremely close in order to read out the altitude number correctly.

Edit: I meant to say altitude info(bottom right corner of a target), not range in my 3th pic.

is this really not a bug? Looks quite weird in the first two pics.

Yep it’s definitely a bug. The luminosity of each symbol adds up to the other, so it gets brighter the more contacts there is. It should stay the same luminosity.

Opps, my bad! I rarely do a bug report and thought I was supposed to add a prefix to state what sort of problem I have.

Reminds me of the radioactive faces in TES IV (or literally any other game of that age) with HDR Bloom on

BRO THATS FOR THE DEVELOPERS. YOU DONT DO THAT. Just write your subject. Devs edit your subject themselves based on state of bug fix. All you did was make sure devs ignore your problem cuz "NOT BUG".

A little hilarious this mistake, but no worries. I'm sure the devs will see it anyways.

Alright, guess I will take some new screenshots and make a new post later. It's better safe than sorry.

Feel free to beat me to it tho!

Edit: Nevermind, we're all good now! :)

Devs, this may also explain some bad FPS with the HSD page up and many RWR contacts on screen.

Just as a datapoint, in the single player mission I was just flying I was getting 60 fps with the HSD off and only 20 with it on while all other factors equal. Ooof!

I can confirm the FPS loss when it gets too Bright and you turn it on, After 20 mins flying, with RWR on screen i was having 15-25 FPS in VR, without, i had 70 Stable.

I also noticed a similar thing with the snake gun reticle on the HUD. It'll generate too many lines as it snakes around and they'll start falling into each other and get brighter and brighter. Let me know if you want a separate bug report for that, although it's easy to reproduce. Switch to any one gun reticle than LCOS and you'll see it.

so, issues are:

1. becomes more and more brighter

2. fps drops?

should be fixed (found the root cause)

Very low FPS from the second sortie and on

Same as title don't know why.

HSD page causes fps drop

Hi there just spot when i was online so HSD page causes about 25+ fps drop im quite sure , it was second fly after rearm and refuel

here is some short video

Same issue here. Over 60% FPS lost, appears to be due to the bloom/glow on the symbols.

This. Absolutely this.

I came hear fearing I am the only one, but the module is showing some kind of “memory leak” type issue.

At first I thought it may be something like all the screens (tgp, grnd rdr, hsi) are being continuously rendered even when switched off, but now it really seems to get worse the longer you are flying it. My PC runs all the other modules just fine in VR, but after the last update, the F16 is also showing this type of performance problem when the datalink is ok. Maybe related

My frames are always locked on 40 and 80, but in Jeff they have been getting down to the low teens on my second sortie. Makes me nauseous and I have to turn it off

JF-17 MFCD HSD page causes LAG

so there seem to be a bug with the HSD page where the "pings" start to glow really bright killing framerates.

i found a temporary fix for it, switching the HSD from the right mfcd to the left mfcd will normalize the HSD returning the framerates and showing up normaly.

Deka said that's already been fixed internally; updates should be available in their next patch.

yea if you're cockroaching in the JF-17 the frames take a huge hit, but turning off the DL MFD brings it back in line, for me at least.

Wow, these guys work fast with bug fixes and updates.

poor loop8ack. one hand on forums other hand on code. thanks for the hard work.
