Ala12Rv-watermanpc Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 Hi mates, I know is a "minor" issue, but I have noticed that in my FC3 SU27, the exterior canopy glass is not reflecting nor shining like in other planes, but the thing is that I can see LOTS of screens out there of the su27 in DCS where the canopy shines and reflect correctly sooooo...this is what I get: and this is how it should be: Also, here are some screens with the effect working: whats the problem here??:huh: Take a look at my MODS here
Ala12Rv-watermanpc Posted December 9, 2015 Author Posted December 9, 2015 Any idea on how to get the canopy glass shine back for the su 27??? Take a look at my MODS here

And lo, Reverend Vegas did say "Take forth unto the infidel the mighty GAU 8 and expend its holy 30MM so that freedom will be brung upon them who knoweth not the joys of BBBBBBBRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRTTTTTTTTTT" "Amen"
Ala12Rv-watermanpc Posted December 9, 2015 Author Posted December 9, 2015 Well, I think thats not gonna work this time :)...seriously...why my su 27 doesnt have canopy reflections? is that normal in FC3??...its something I like... Take a look at my MODS here
Zibell Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 Take a look at the Su-33 and gaze in wonder what it should look like. Just another bug. [sIGPIC]hi[/sIGPIC]
Ala12Rv-watermanpc Posted December 10, 2015 Author Posted December 10, 2015 same for me, no reflections in 1.5.1 Well, I see Im not the only one sadly:( Take a look at the Su-33 and gaze in wonder what it should look like. Just another bug. Im not sure I understand you, sorry mate...the su 33 lookd great and also has WORKING external canopy shine/reflection just how it should be for the su27... Take a look at my MODS here
OnlyforDCS Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 To get nice a nice shine like that, you need proper conditions. Was the sun at your 2-3 o clock when you took that picture? Was it a nice clear day? What time of day was it?

theropod Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 (edited) the canopy glass reflection of su-27 has gone long ago, check your 1.2.16 , it does not exists there too. sometimes i see the reflection from distance with fly by wiev but when the aircraft comes closer, the effect disappears.

Ala12Rv-watermanpc Posted December 11, 2015 Author Posted December 11, 2015 To get nice a nice shine like that, you need proper conditions. Was the sun at your 2-3 o clock when you took that picture? Was it a nice clear day? What time of day was it? Yes, conditions were ideal...in fact as you can see it exactly the same moment as un the mig 29 picture, where the effect is working. the canopy glass reflection of su-27 has gone long ago, check your 1.2.16 , it does not exists there too. sometimes i see the reflection from distance with fly by wiev but when the aircraft comes closer, the effect disappears. Ok then, its broken also, you are right...bug then i guess...and if its been broken for a long time its not looking good for a solution right? That's exactly what I said... Ok, i understand now!

theropod Posted December 14, 2015 Posted December 14, 2015 Ok then, its broken also, you are right...bug then i guess...and if its been broken for a long time its not looking good for a solution right? yes, here is the flanker screenshots from first release, i hope they'll fix the canopy glass on future updates
Ala12Rv-watermanpc Posted December 27, 2015 Author Posted December 27, 2015 I just cant believe how much time this kind of "easy to solve" things remains unsolved in this sim :(...I know its not something very important but, cmon!!, I bet its a hell of an easy thing to repair and I really hate to look at SU27 canopy and see how its not there...this things should be fixed from one patch to another I think :mad: Take a look at my MODS here

Ala12Rv-watermanpc Posted December 28, 2015 Author Posted December 28, 2015 (edited) You probably answered this right there. Yeah, I know, but I meant that being something so "simple" but "noticeable" I think there should had been a fix for it long time ago...also, I think its a pretty weird issue that used to exist since LOMAC times here and there if I remember well...

No, i didnt mean it existed in su27 in particular but i remember some problems with f18 canopy which was the one with that effect in those days...anyway i think its pretty noticeable and something that after some time should have been already solved...hope ED can fix this issue soon:thumbup: Take a look at my MODS here
Bourrinopathe Posted May 11, 2016 Posted May 11, 2016 (edited) I also hope it will be fixed. I thought it could have something to do with a test rather than a mistake as the in-cockpit (fake) reflection looks artificial/flat using stereoscopy (VR / anamorphic rendering) (as well as any mirrored image). No idea if the two are linked (external shininess reflection and in-cockpit reflection) (3D model common material definition?)… It still looks less interesting and realistic for most of us though.

archer86 Posted May 19, 2016 Posted May 19, 2016 (edited) if I didnt see wrong ,here that recent video shows cockpit canopy glass reflection which does not exists on 1.5. please fix it for 1.5 version Edited May 19, 2016 by archer86
Bourrinopathe Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 No worries. It's not fixed in DCS 2 open alpha either ;) (what you've seen is the specular lighting) /// ВКБ: GF Pro MkII+MCG Pro/GF MkII+SCG L/Black Mamba MkIII/Gladiator/T-Rudder MkII | X-55 Rhino throttle/Saitek Throttle Quadrant | OpenTrack+UTC /// ZULU +4 /// /// "THE T3ASE": i9 9900K | 64 GB DDR4 | RTX 2080ti OC | 2 TB NVMe SSDs, 1 TB SATA SSD, 12 TB HDDs | Gigabyte DESIGNARE mobo ///
theropod Posted June 25, 2016 Posted June 25, 2016 Thank you ED, canopy glass reflection is back with 1.5.4 openbeta!:thumbup:
Bourrinopathe Posted June 25, 2016 Posted June 25, 2016 Unfortunately, it's not fixed. What you see is the specular highlight (bright spot on the canopy). It's still missing the pseudo-environmental reflection (blue and brown layer). It's easy to compare in the 1.5.4 new encyclopedia rendering (Su-27 vs Su-33 or the brand new MiG-29A, for example). /// ВКБ: GF Pro MkII+MCG Pro/GF MkII+SCG L/Black Mamba MkIII/Gladiator/T-Rudder MkII | X-55 Rhino throttle/Saitek Throttle Quadrant | OpenTrack+UTC /// ZULU +4 /// /// "THE T3ASE": i9 9900K | 64 GB DDR4 | RTX 2080ti OC | 2 TB NVMe SSDs, 1 TB SATA SSD, 12 TB HDDs | Gigabyte DESIGNARE mobo ///
Conroy Posted June 25, 2016 Posted June 25, 2016 Could we have back also the glass reflection inside the cockpit as for the Fulcrum? At least a feedback...please.
