[REPORTED] Su-25t instrument panel lighting

[Marcq]

Why is it so dark in there with the light on?Impossible to fly at night

It is one of several aircraft in need of an update since the change to PBR. It isn't supposed to be that dark

What is PBR?

For the moment you can help by also turning nav lights on and gamma setting.

Most models are getting a _RoughMet applied to them as the Specular maps are being replaced.

Thanks guys

yes 2019, still almost pitch black, the brightness of the instruments is very low. only readable if you zoom in to its max.

[spoon95]

Yes, the brightness is severely inadequate

DCS should improve this, although it is free

Every time I fly at night, I need to zoom in to see it

Su-25t instrument panel lighting

 

Is there some way to increase the brightness of the panel lighting ? It's very difficult to see gauges when flying at night.

[Rudel_chw]

Hopefully ED will update the Su-25T soon, to better adapt to the lighting changes introduced on version 2.5 ... in the meantime, I increase the Gamma setting when flying at night, and reduce it when at day.

[wilsonov]

Thanks !

What Gamma are you guys using, I don't see a huge issue with both 1.7 and 2.2 see screenshots.

for me the main problem is with HSI lighting which you can see in your screenshots. just the one side (heading) is barely visible.

[NineLine]

It doesn't look that bad from my side, but I will report it anyways, I am sure it will eventually get PBR textures and I would hope that improves it, but can't hurt to mention that the lights are a little dim, although I can't imagine spending much time in the dark in the Su-25 anyways :)

Certainly, the SU-25A isn't really suited for night ops, but this is the T version.

The Su-25T should be pretty good for night ops with its 2 different types of EO sensors availableR, plus illumination flares, so why wouldn't you use it at night if everything worked as it should?

The Night vision in the Lightning Pod display is perfectly good until the sensor can only see sky - at which point it all becomes 100% white, spoiling the night vision somewhat and making the already dim instruments even harder to read. As pointed out earlier, the HSI is particularly hard to read. In addition to that, the ambient lighting even on a clear starlit night is zero. The stars and moon if out, don't seem to cast any light, so you have to rely somewhat on instrumentation to avoid becoming a crater.

As stated, it is reported.
