HUD glass tint too dark top half...and a couple of other questions

[lemoen]

Yeah I think the colour is right, its just too opaque.

[FistofZen]

I can't get either of the mods to work. It always shows the green "no texture" -texture. I tried unzipping the folder, then replacing the files, and leaving it as a folder or zipping it up again. Neither worked. Any ideas?

 

There are two files in the mod zip, copy them and overwrite them in DCS World OpenBeta 2.5\Mods\aircraft\FA-18C\Cockpit\Textures\FA-18C-CPT-TEXTURES.zip

Thanks, I did not know I could just drag them into the .zip file:thumbup:

I think the textures probably got messed up from manually compressing the files again.

Trying to see dark targets in the shadows on the rocks vs trying to see dark targets on the light green grass.

 

different resolutions as well,

 

try and do a direct comparison via track file

His example is not great agreed, but a clearer hud makes it easier to see things. That can not be argued.

Tried this mod out, after packaging it for OvGME, for about an hour during late:ish dawn in-game (~05:45 May 30) on PG.

Target spotting on ground and VID:ing stuff in air is easier, so is spotting details when in the groove for example. Great job, this is now added to my permanent must-have-mod-list! :D

 

If placebo was called on that specific example, fine. If it was called in a broader sense that the tint change itself is placebo I'd like to call you on it sir :)

Placebo? :lol:

One can argue until the cows come home, but the default HUD tint is too dark.

 

Next on my personal wish list is a modded canopy glass for the Hornet. The default texture with reflections/wear is not very well done. Even F-5E's default canopy is in better shape. (I'm looking at you, watermanpc) ;)

How does one get rid of the horizontal line on the upper 1/3 of the HUD?

I Guess you’d need to make the front piece of glass invisible.

This is the line I would like to eliminate. How would one do that?

Copy the 2 files from the mod to DCS World OpenBeta 2.5\Mods\aircraft\FA-18C\Cockpit\Textures\FA-18C-CPT-TEXTURES.zip and overwrite them.

 

will this pass the integrity check?

What I came to ask exactly.

[16th.Raptor]

Just a reminder folks, the tint

 

In real it is not dark, no HUD is dark. They have a special thin coat of chemicals sprayed in order to better reflect green color. This was primary designed for displaying FLIR green image on a HUD, and that coat is what makes it pink from the internal part only. So if one needs to actually simulate that effect on a HUD he should make it a bit pink, not dark/black.

[Impact]

Maybe its like with the gun, instead of the accuracy of 8 mils it has 22 mils here, making it more like an autoshotgun. So the pink of the HUD turns black over the years.

MBAM gives a malware block for that site - and these are very rare (at least for me) and no way I would ignore it.

This worked for me for a while but no longer works. I really miss having a clear HUD glass so I can see properly on my flat 2d monitor. Does anyone have a way to get this working again?

[DflippinK]

dont know if you already saw this,, but here is a good hud mod for the hornet..

I'm using the one sopebird linked to in post #28 and it's still working fine.
