Flamin_Squirrel Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Many (all?) of the jets in DCS have pressurised cockpits with environmental controls, but we've no indication what temperature it is in the cockpit even if we wanted to adjust settings. How about some sort of graphical indication, such as the edges of the screen going red/blue if you get too hot/cold? It would be another touch to add that little bit more immersion. Thoughts?

Buzzles Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Would rather see fogging implemented tbh. Dunno about you, but my vision doesn't go blue at the edges when I get cold :) Fancy trying Star Citizen? Click here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingPoiuy Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Fogging is a simple change that adds a ton of immersion.

There is no cockpit temp gauge in the F-15. As a matter of fact, I don't recall a gauge that shows external temps either.

You don't need a gauge, because in reality you don't need one to tell you if you feel warm or cold. We've got environmental controls in the virtual cockpit, but we can't use them because we don't know how hot or cold it actually is. In the sim we can't feel the hot or cold, so the idea is that you'd have a graphical representation of whether the environmental control system was working as it should.

BravoYankee4 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 (edited) Aha, we need a cockpit temperature variable in the export.lua so we can control room heating/cooling through DCS-BIOS :) Edited February 12, 2016 by BravoYankee4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
