Moon light direction and NVG render

[diditopgun]

Good morning !

 

I've noted that moon light comes from the wrong direction. When the moon is in front of me my dashboard is illuminated. When the moon is in my back the dashboard is dark and my ejection sit is illuminated. Same effect is visible on all external models.

 

 

NVG render at night looks very ugly on canopy reflections, sky and clouds. (it's worst in-game than on screenshots):

Up !

 

Moon light still come from wrong direction with hotfix 3.

Edit: Disregard the following, I decided to open a separate thread for the NVG issue: NVG light-to-dark gradation visible steps /Edit

 

Let me append to the NVG at night issue.

 

Near the horizon, light-to-dark gradation has clearly visible steps, as if too much video compression was applied.

 

GTX970, driver version 353.62, DCS OpenBeta 1.5 Hotfix 3, Win 7 64. Let me know if you need more detailed specs.

landing lights should be seen from miles away.

 

I perfectly agree. It has always bothered me the lights have such a low visibility. It should definitely be improved for a better and more realistic navigation.

From what I remember tweaking the particle effects in other rendering engines it may be related to the maximum "flare particle effect" rendering distance.

Well, whatever is the issue or design decision I hope it could be improved someday. ;)
