Turn defered shading off

[MikeMikeJuliet]

Interesting.

 

I personally like every effect, since those glare are part of any real cockpits problems. To me personally turning glares and all off feels like I'm cheating. Especially in multiplayer if I can see something others can't because of the glare.

 

But then again I'm one for all out realism and authenticity when it comes to these kinds of things.

 

 

I'm not here to criticize your preference on this... after all, it is a sim and a hobby. I just found it interesting.

Use a nice pair of aviators.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm sorry, just wait for ED to fix the hud. Remember that some glare that impacts your vision is realistic.

[David OC]

There is an option to hear like in helmet.

 

Should this be extended? Hear like in helmet with tinted visor too, for all this bright sun now in sim.

 

I was thinking when playing around with settings last night if there should be an option, problem is it may look like the old 2.0 if implemented.:music_whistling:

Also, when the sun is at your windshield, depending on the aircraft, it may be VERY difficult to read a real HUD. And if the sun is close or on the HUD, good luck reading that thing at all.

A sun visor for the helmet should be made to toggle - but not just be cosmetic, but also working well enough to have an effect when looking through it. I am sure that's doable. :)

[Kayos]

One of the planes has a sun visor. Can't remember which, M2000C? Mig-21? One does anyway.

Too bad they all don't.

[rrohde]

I believe I tried it in the Mig-21 - but haven't since the 2.1 update.

[David OC]

I'm guessing jets flying out of Nellis would normally use their visors a lot during the day in that sun. I would ask the crew chief for a darker UV tint job.

 

On that note, how much should the UV canopy tint help with the sun in the different jets? Everyone talks about how NTTR should look, how does it look through the canopy of a jet with or without the visor down.

 

 

[MikeMikeJuliet]

The helmets have two visors: a clear one and a black one and you can change those at will... And the MiG-21 visor is really only a darker tint rendered over DCS... it really doesn't help anything at all.

I agree the glare is annoying at times but I'm pretty sure real pilots think the exact same thing. If its a problem that pilots face in RL, it's a problem I prefer to face in the sim.

The gazelle also has a sun visor for the pilots. I believe the key is "G" but when you hit it you pull the visor down on the helmet. Pretty neat.

Uninstall 2.x then and only use the 1.5 Release.

 

Problem solved.

 

Otherwise, wait for ED to fix and improve the brand new gfx they've just added.

I am using 1.5.6 not 2.x

My apologies then, assumed you were as the glare/reflectiveness is a big issue in 2.1

[caponi]

switch HDR off ...

[Reflected]

With HDR off I don't have sunglare at all. I can look right at the Sun and it would only be a tiny white patch on the sky.

[WildBillKelsoe]

it doesnt work. there is still cockpit reflections.

[SharkBaztard]

Turning off HDR is/was the way to do this...

 

but I read that some modules (f15c as example) have a glitch/bug with the recent update and the cockpit fills with light and blinds you either way. I think we just have to wait on a fix.

[Guitrz]

rrohde, pretty sure the Mig-21Bis already has that.
