Schmidtfire Posted April 6, 2018 Posted April 6, 2018 HUD should be green. Not the tint currently implemented. Also, NAVFLIR is very low resolution in DCS. I think it used to be sharper (like real life) in earlier release, but it was changed to lower rez when it was patched from b&w to green color. Proper NAVFLIR resolution is very important for navigation. I did a flight yesterday, and it was almost impossibe to make out anything. There seems to be a big sort of grid overlay (also affects DMT resolution). Please have a look. Video source HUD+NAVFLIR: Thanks for a fine module, looking forward to see new features and updates :)

al531246 Posted April 8, 2018 Posted April 8, 2018 If you fancy it, you can help RAZBAM with this issue by finding the correct color yourself. Go to this folder; DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\AV8BNA\Cockpit In there you'll see a file called materials.lua. Open this with Notepad++ (download here) Go to line 30 and you should see this; materials["HUD_GREEN_BRIGHT"] = {0, 204, 102, 255} -- hud_indicator_color = {0,204,102,255} This is the color for the HUD elements. It's in the format RGBA. Each number varies from 0 to 255. R = Red G = Green B = Blue A = alpha / opacity Tweak those numbers to until you find the color that you feel fits best.

Schmidtfire Posted April 8, 2018 Author Posted April 8, 2018 (edited) Thanks for the info. But I rather not as modifying the lua will break integrity check. I have done some further tests on the DMT resolution. Bumping Res. of cockpit displays to 1024 every frame in options will make it a bit better. Guess it uses the same system as cockpit mirrors do. The main issue is the "grid" overlay. If it is removed it will be a lot clearer. Higher contrast and saturation might also help. I think there is a mod that sort of help with this. But again, modded lua files breaks integrity check. Hope Razbam see this thread and find a solution :noexpression: Edited April 8, 2018 by Schmidtfire

I've just checked, modding the .lua's doesn't fail IC. Here I am playing online with modded materials.lua - Strangely tho changing the values for the color don't seem to have affected it in game. As you'll see it's still green! I don't know why that is at the moment, I'll have to look further into it. I think you might be able to replace the grid texture file with a transparent .dds and still play online without failing IC. I'll give it a shot now. EDIT; I've just checked. You can play online with modded .dds in DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\AV8BNA\Cockpit\Resources\MPCD. It doesn't fail IC. But don't use a transparent dds, it makes the FLIR useless!

Schmidtfire Posted April 9, 2018 Author Posted April 9, 2018 Nice find! What type of .dds should I use if not transparent?
Dave317 Posted April 9, 2018 Posted April 9, 2018 Is there any way to change the transparence of the hud glass. IMO it looks too dark.

davidp57 Posted April 9, 2018 Posted April 9, 2018 I made a mod "correcting" the same problem on the TPOD. You could do the same for the HUD ... it's just a matter of finding the right file.

Eldur Posted April 10, 2018 Posted April 10, 2018 Video source HUD+NAVFLIR: What gets me more is the fact he's taxiing at 29% RPM which is fully idle without getting stuck to the ground. However, this is a general DCS issue. I'll mark the day in my calendar when the general magical auto wheel brake at v=0 finally gets removed. At the moment, some planes need 80% or even more RPM (physical throttle levers past 50%) to get off position which is just ridiculous - the harrier is quite pleasant in that regard though, but still
