Sun shines through parts of the cockpit

Hi

 

Please see the screenshots below. The sun shines through some parts of the cockpit.

 

I have another question. One, that puzzles me since the module was released. I very much like the effect of the cockpit lights the Viggen has, especially the three green autopilot lights. In particular i mean the glare effect, that the lights seem to be cigar-shaped due to the dazzling effect of the pilot's eye. However I was wondering if this effect should follow the head's rotation when I rotate may head with TrackIR. I mean, the effect is created within my eyes and not by the light itself, right? Currently the glaring effect is fixed with respect to the cockpit frame.

Cockpits are often made up of modules so light leaks are not unusual.

Hi Kingsnake

 

Great video!, However I think the scene in the video doesn't show the same phenomenon. I think what you see is just the reflection from the upper panel surface. Due to the reflection's brightnes, it appears as a spot underneath but i think it actually isnt.

 

Edit: maybe we hear a note from the devs whether it's intended or not :)

Uhm, is it just me or on the screen that op has posted , the circle of the sun circle CLEARLY is in light of sight in his current view postition

That is normal and looks fairly realistic to me. I just looked outside of my window while the very bright sun just shines around the corner, but.. don't.. look for to long into the sunlight.

 

The other part that shines through below seems like a glitch.

I don't mean the actual sun spot in the screen shots. I mean the white light spot that appears just above the green autopilot lights^^ The sun itself does indeed look realistic. I DID mean the "glitch" that Texac refers to.

Looks like how the sun would reflect in RL to me.

I believe its the mesh for the lights overlay you see there. After DCS went Deferred, many of those textures seemed to fire of speculars/reflect light, when they werent fully black, I guess.
