Too much window tint after 2.1.1.8244 Update 1

Recommended Posts

The Bf-109s front windscreen and sight tint are too much after today's update. I can hardly make out targets against the ground currently. Screen shot of my sight is below. I can adjust the sim's gamma and make it more usable but then everything else becomes washed out. Thanks.

Umm... Why was this added?:huh: As far as I know 109 never had tinted windscreen. It has a gunsight filter that can be fliped if needed but the glass should be just thicker than on sides, thats all.

I have found two planes that have that kind of frontal glass "Lady Alice" and "Crazy Horse 2". I can't tell if it is WW2 equipment, post war production or just green "modern" glass or maybe modifcation from Korean war? I can't tell. I have cross checked these planes and Alice is NT and Crazy is NA. So its not place of production, but both seem to be block D-30... I have no clue. But what boggles my mind is why the K-14 gunsight is also tinted?

my guess is that this was added because people complained about the readability of HUD symbology. With darker glass it is more readable now. But I agree, probably overdone at the moment...

i guess they chnaged values and didnt actually check it afterwards ... makes it actually unflyable and unfightable against the ground ... one can at least see a "little" against the sky :music_whistling:

 

can we have a "yeah we fix it until next patch" from official side ?

It is not a mater of preference but realism. It is imperative that it is fixed to insure realistic depiction of the Bf109 model. Dora also got this treatment?

No, the Dora is not changed.

 

And is not imperative, because nothing is broken. Just use the original file from 1.5.7.

 

Sometimes the drama is to much. ED is just testing things on an Alpha version, just the version ED must use to test this kind of things. Sometimes changes stay, others gone. And this case is extremely easy to roll back.

im with u there ...it has to be adjusted(by ed) to be as efficient as the realworld revi is .... BUT its not so urgend (for me) because we have an easy workaround and can continue to fly ....

 

its more important to fix the tf 51s pit, because of that, you cant fly blueflag ww2 (you need the tf to actually capture airbases) ... but thats a different storie

Esac_mirmidon, your patch did not work for me. Or perhaps I just did not know how to apply it....

 

your patch had 1 file "bf109cpt_glass.rar", which I was supposed to put to the directory "DCS World 2 OpenAlpha\CoreMods\WWII Units\Bf-109K-4\Textures".

I did exactly that and it did not work.

 

Was I supposed to unrar your archive and place the contained "bf109cpt_class.dds" in to the directory??? I tried also that but it did not work.

 

My directory "DCS World 2 OpenAlpha\CoreMods\WWII Units\Bf-109K-4\Textures" contains only one file "Bf-109K-4.zip".

That zip file contains several .dds files. One being named "Bf-109K-4_glass.dds" i.e. different name as the one in your rar.

 

So how exactly should I apply your patch?

i´ve checked the file and is OK:

 

1.- Download the file from my post.

2.- Unzip the .rar.

3.- The file name is "bf109cpt_glass" (I´ve checked and is correct).

4.- Go to DCS World 2 OpenAlpha\CoreMods\WWII Units\Bf-109K-4\Textures.

5.- Drag the file you have unziped INSIDE Bf-109K-4.zip

 

That´s all.

Is it just for the 109? The P-51 is also messed up.

 

 

 

 

For the thread in general, I agree with you all. Whatever they doing right now, the official version (whenever that comes) should not have tinted frontal glass. It is not realistic and visibility against the ground is too bad as it is. If a specific P-51 had that kind of glass, make a vintage version, but to not force us all to use a modification.

Not for the P-51D but for my personal taste i like how It looks.

 

Thanks, that's bad news.

 

They should offer it as a mod for the players who like to give a twist to their planes. I rather stick with simulation and functionality.

Well its really easy to change it.

 

You only need to change the colour of one file with Photoshop.
