Cobra847 Posted December 4, 2016 Posted December 4, 2016 Hi Everyone! Thanks so much for all of your kind comments and support. It means the world to us. We have a lot more planned for the next few days, but for now-- enjoy some screenshots of the Viggens' night lighting and a very short and raw, unedited video. Some of you will no doubt notice a few bugs and issues in the night lighting -- fixes in progress! :) Thanks, LS 3 Nicholas Dackard Founder & Lead Artist Heatblur Simulations https://www.facebook.com/heatblur/

Vitormouraa Posted December 4, 2016 Posted December 4, 2016 Ok.. I asked for a picture at night time and you give us a video plus more pics.. Nice! SplashOneGaming Discord https://splashonegaming.com
Pocket Sized Posted December 4, 2016 Posted December 4, 2016 The lighting on the attitude indicator is orgasmic. DCS modules are built up to a spec, not down to a schedule. In order to utilize a system to your advantage, you must know how it works.
Vitormouraa Posted December 4, 2016 Posted December 4, 2016 The lighting on the attitude indicator is orgasmic. Yep.. imagine that in DCS 2.5 with PBR, new HDR, new lightning system.. deferred shading.. oh my god. SplashOneGaming Discord https://splashonegaming.com
Witchking Posted December 4, 2016 Posted December 4, 2016 The lighting is just incredible. wow. Nice to see cockpit lighting actually lighting up the cockpit itself. Beautiful. Can't wait to see those improved lights in DCS all over...wingtip lights etc for FC3 jets and so on. :) WHISPR | Intel I7 5930K | Nvidia GTX980 4GB GDDR5 | 16GB DDR4 | Intel 730 series 512GB SSD | Thrustmaster WARTHOG | CH Pro Pedals | TrackIR4 pro | |A-10C|BS2 |CA|P-51 MUSTANG|UH-1H HUEY|MI-8 MTV2 |FC3|F5E|M2000C|AJS-37|FW190|BF 109K|Mig21|A-10:SSC,EWC|L-39|NEVADA|
Veritech Posted December 4, 2016 Posted December 4, 2016 Cobra, does the HUD give any heading, speed and altitude info? I've failed to see any! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] "Alis Aquilae Aut Pax Aut Bellum" Veritech's DCS YouTube Channel

Agremont Posted December 4, 2016 Posted December 4, 2016 (edited) Superb lighting! Definitely going to have some cozy night time flying in this bird. Great job LN! Edited December 4, 2016 by Agremont

Nevermind, I just saw the video in a bigger screen. :lol: Is that last sound related to the RWR?

BlackLion213 Posted December 4, 2016 Posted December 4, 2016 Absolutely gorgeous! Thank you for sharing. :) Also, does the engine instrumentation have an indicator for which afterburner stage is lit? I saw indicators "1 2 3" illuminate as you advanced the throttle. -Nick
Goblin Posted December 4, 2016 Posted December 4, 2016 Also, does the engine instrumentation have an indicator for which afterburner stage is lit? I saw indicators "1 2 3" illuminate as you advanced the throttle. In a way. 1-2-3 lights are linked to the position of the throttle handle, and corresponds to the AB (or EBK in Swedish) stages. But it doesn't register the actual light-up of the stage.
Goblin Posted December 4, 2016 Posted December 4, 2016 Absolutetly stunning! The attention to detail is fantastic! Just look at the lines in the SI (Swedish acronym for Siktlinjesindikator, roughly translated to 'Sightline Indicator' in english, AKA HUD ;) ) The lines are slightly thinner, or actually less luminous, towards the ends... Just like the real SI..!

But it doesn't register the actual light-up of the stage. Cool, thank you! Even without registering the ignition of each stage, it's still a handy and novel feature for the throttle. I'm not aware of any other aircraft that has it, most pilots rely on the "feel" to tell when each stage lights. -Nick
Goblin Posted December 4, 2016 Posted December 4, 2016 most pilots rely on the "feel" to tell when each stage lights. I remember reading about Chuck Yeager being quite unimpressed with this feature, when he got to test the Viggen. "A pilot knows where the throttle handle is" or something like that... Personally, I think he was being cranky because he got to ride in the back of the SK 37 ;)

Personally, I think he was being cranky because he got to ride in the back of the SK 37 ;) Yeah...pilots don't like to ride in the back seat, especially when they think they are famous. :) (Or know they are famous - like Chuck Yeager). I still think that redundancy and points of reference are helpful, plus good for safety. Just my 2 cents. -Nick

"A pilot knows where the throttle handle is" or something like that... Personally, I think he was being cranky because he got to ride in the back of the SK 37 ;) That's what he said about AOA indicator as well. I have the utmost respect for the man like everyone else, but there are a lot of thing I don't agree with him on. With those kind of opinions I'm not sure man would be flying at all. (Who needs altimeters when you have eyes, who needs jetengines when you got good old props, who needs missiles when you have guns. ect. ect.) Luckily we are all allowed to have our own opinions! Also great fecking video! Edited December 4, 2016 by SpeedStick "Hard to imagine bigger engine. its got a beautiful face and an arse built like sputnik." - Pikey AKA The Poet, on 37 Viggen.
asla36 Posted December 4, 2016 Posted December 4, 2016 Stunning!:D Can't wait for the cold start, and so on videos to come:) DCS: MiG-23 [sIGPIC] [/sIGPIC] Make it happen, and take my money! :D
Goblin Posted December 4, 2016 Posted December 4, 2016 I still think that redundancy and points of reference are helpful, plus good for safety. Just my 2 cents. Absolutely! And it's, what, 3 microswitches and 3 lamps. Not like it's a very complex and expensive system ;)

"A pilot knows where the throttle handle is" or something like that... Personally, I think he was being cranky because he got to ride in the back of the SK 37 ;) Interestingly he seemed more positive about it and other Swedish fighter jets when asked about them on facebook a while ago. So maybe time has made him forgive the Swedish airforce for the insult of being relegated to the backseat. :D Edit: Here's the link. https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?id=465193060493&story_fbid=10152781897870494
Agremont Posted December 4, 2016 Posted December 4, 2016 I noticed the HUD is visible outside the HUD glass at some angles. Is that a bug or is it intended?
Reflected Posted December 4, 2016 Posted December 4, 2016 What? No Iron Maiden soundtrack?! Shame on you :P Really nice cockpit and lights though. Facebook Instagram YouTube Discord
Grundar Posted December 4, 2016 Posted December 4, 2016 It's just gorgeous. The presentation of the Viggen looks amazing and we know LN can deliver on flight modelling and "the experience" this module is going to be the new yard stick I think. I cannot wait to get my hands on this puppy. Imagine the possibilities with the F-14 (and potentially the Draken :D )
