riojax Posted December 23, 2018 Posted December 23, 2018 +1 Please ED, rework the Mig-15bis cockpit without the fake reflection and a P-51D alike glass. P.S. Meanwhile i'm using this clean cockpit mod: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3302949/
Akatsuki Posted December 24, 2018 Posted December 24, 2018 Would be nice indeed as almost everyone is complaining about the current -horrible- reflection.
golani79 Posted January 4, 2020 Posted January 4, 2020 A general overhaul of the 15s cockpit would be nice - also of the 86 :D 2 >> DCS liveries by golani79 <<
streakeagle Posted July 1, 2020 Posted July 1, 2020 (edited) I have been flying the MiG-15bis a lot online and offline lately. The existing canopy reflection is worthless. It not only looks bad, but really limits visibility out of the cockpit. I lose sight of contacts at nearly point blank ranges all the time depending on the lighting/angle to the sun.

Shadow KT Posted July 1, 2020 Posted July 1, 2020 don't even get me started on canopy scratches... at least it is not F-5 levels 'Shadow' Everybody gotta be offended and take it personally now-a-days
303_Kermit Posted July 1, 2020 Posted July 1, 2020 (edited) Yep... I like the canopy in F-15C. Clear blue sky. Edited October 22, 2020 by 303_Kermit

enigma6584 Posted December 21, 2020 Posted December 21, 2020 Yes, please ED. Please have someone, one of the superb artists on your team rework the reflections on the canopy. They do not help with seeing things outside the cockpit. It really hampers visibility.
Count von Altibar Posted January 2, 2021 Posted January 2, 2021 Agree with all the above comments, the canopy reflections and cockpit gauges need attention. Very hard to see the enemy during dogfighting with them which puts me off flying the Mig-15.
NaCH Posted April 18, 2021 Posted April 18, 2021 Agree or at least please remove all sticker reflection... not to mention the one in reflecting scope...

I have flown in real life and I drive cars with lots of glass every day in bright sun. Certain angles can make reflections/glare a problem, but at most angles, the reflection is transparent enough that you don't even notice it unless you focus on it. Dogfighting would be impossible if fighters were blinded in such a wide range of angles and lighting conditions. To approach undetected "out of the sun" required careful flying in a very steady position to blind the opponent but not shadow the sun. The MiG-15 has a baked on reflection that becomes opaque much of the time. If that is the "realistic" just like "real life" solution, why don't all of the official ED aircraft have the same problem and not just the MiG-15bis? Why am I not blind in the F-86 which was made in the same time frame by the same group: Belsimtek. Use a consistent technology to get the best result and apply it evenly. The MiG-21 was another aircraft that had a canopy that could hardly be seen through, especially through the gunsight. The MiG-21bis finally got a clear canopy. If it can't be realistic due to game engine limitations, then I will take 100% transparent over 95% opaque every single time. 2 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

When focused far on an opponent, you won't notice blinding reflections as much, as if you focus your eyes on the canopy. Problem is, that can't be simulated (unless perhaps in VR) on a computer screen. In the game (sorry - simulation) you have a fixed "endless nearfield" focus. If you're driving your car in bright sunlight the dashboard will mirror in the screen and if you focus on it, it can become distracting - but if you look right through it, it's not much of an issue.

Zeagle Posted April 23, 2021 Posted April 23, 2021 I think the word "blinded" is a bit much..lol. And the term "baked" doesn't mean the same as it did before the advent of shaders and GLSL. Your car probably doesn't have a bullet proof windshield with a gunsight behind it. So I am discounting that analogy. How about an image or a video of the issue? I can support my claim with many images.
Zeagle Posted April 23, 2021 Posted April 23, 2021 Here is a good article talking about glare https://frankcrebas.com/battling-the-ghost-called-glare/

Today you have a 2d Sticker in the cockpit and collimator sight. Put a VR headset and you will see how disoriented and you will see how baked they look. It looks like you are in a bus with a semitransparent sticker in the window. When you move your head you should see the reflection move based on perspective. 1
Zeagle Posted April 30, 2021 Posted April 30, 2021 Do you have an image to show? Or better yet, how about a video of the problem? Maybe your VR headset is showing something screwy. VR is still in its infancy. Maybe it's a VR problem.
streakeagle Posted May 11, 2021 Posted May 11, 2021 The latest update gets rid of the horrific baked in reflection texture and replaces it with a very transparent texture with just enough dirt to see the glass. This eliminates the need to install a "clean glass" mod, but almost completely eliminates any visible reflection / glare. A great solution for playability but perhaps a disappointment for those that liked the baked in texture. For multiplayer, this is even with the F-86 and much more fair whether it is realistic or not. Maybe it could be more realistic, but overall I find the new default texture to be an improvement over both the old default and the clear glass mod. 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
