Airmage Posted May 25, 2014 Posted May 25, 2014 Hi, Does anyone believe the lighting of the Kuznetsov is realistic on night landings? I really feel there is something wrong with night visibility in general, but the carrier runway seems way to poorly iluminated, therefore visible at night. Dark is dark but still, there is residual light even at night due to the stars and light refraction in the atmosphere am i right? So maybe some more realism in this way would be ok i think. Cheers!
JNASova Posted May 25, 2014 Posted May 25, 2014 I also have the same problem,but my computer is old,so I that that might be the reson.I can se the runway lights abot 2-3 seconds before touchdown. Смрт фашизму,слобода народу! www.jna.site50.net
Maximus_Lazarus Posted May 25, 2014 Posted May 25, 2014 Sounds like you should turn down the contrast a little bit, and up the brightness ? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Robin_Hood Posted May 26, 2014 Posted May 26, 2014 I think that is due to the fact that the Kuznetsov 3D model and its lighting is fairly old, and substandard to what you can now see in DCS (like some airfields). 2nd French Fighter Squadron
Airmage Posted May 26, 2014 Author Posted May 26, 2014 Yes Robin, that was my point, if you try a normal runway landing you can see the very shiny lights on the ground from far away, but the Kuz doesn't even have a position light so you can spot it from distance. You can follow the WP circle to guide yourself on the approach but you also need to take your eyes away from the HUD to keep the nose the good way, and i think this makes the night carrier landing irrealistically hard.
joey45 Posted May 26, 2014 Posted May 26, 2014 When ED update the carriers [make new ones] it will look alot better. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

uboats Posted May 31, 2014 Posted May 31, 2014 When ED update the carriers [make new ones] it will look alot better. Does ED have plan to update the carrier or they're already working on it?

Highwayman-Ed Posted May 31, 2014 Posted May 31, 2014 They will have to for the US side for the Hornet, but I would guess that would also make an update to the Red side probable as well...

They will have to for both.. Cos the Hornet will not be with us until later next year the Rus carrier will probably be updated due to the Su-33 being the only playable carrier plane in game.

Cheers! i guess that's the lod model, i mean lower poly lod model did not get those lights therefore those will be visible only if you get closer to the high poly model on the most detailed model only will be visible those lights there was a lod model and more visivility mod but i dont know is it still available for download or not ps: lof download seems still active afaik HJ is working on to add new lights for the old Vinson model as well but maybe he will makes a totally new carrier model http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=1611814#post1611814 http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=1612113#post1612113 Edited June 2, 2014 by NRG-Vampire
