planned F-16 MFD Readability

[ac5]

I messed with some of the files and removed the LCD effect and that seemed to make the MFDs much brighter and more readable. The first two pictures are from the default reclined flying position and all pictures are with the sun in front of the jet.

 

It does make the white outline around the screen flicker a bit and the EHIS is a little harder to read but hopefully this helps some people until ED fix them.

 

Well, that makes a HUGE difference for the better!

Thank you very much indeed!

 

Remains for me a mistery why on this earth ED did not do it themselves

in the first place....

It is indeed a mistery to have things as obvious as this gloss over even after wide spread complain.

I know ED has taken notice of this Viper MFD thing and plan to implement contrast/brightness functionality later but a temporary fix like this should suffice while we wait for the big one.

[USA_Recon]

Thanks for sharing your mod - this is much much better.

 

I hope ED is reading and seeing this - someday will be fixed without a need for the mod.

 

Again thanks - the pros of the mod far outweigh the cons

[mthatdan]

Hopefully, someday soon, we will have readable displays, both internally and exported

[Buddyspike69]

Its kinda ridiculous ED puts this issue on wishlist. Its a bug because it hinders normal gameplay.

 

Big thanks for the mod by the way!

 

By the way great work by ED. It pleases me the viper slowly matures. Big progress made compared to the bare bones EA state. Dcs is now my main flight sim thanks to the viper in vr and its high realism.

Haven't had a chance to check, any improvement here?

Everyone should still use the mod.

Awesome! Its ok for MP?

It does not break IC for MP

That mod cannot be used with MFD exports.

 

Wish ED would just address this.

[Voodoo_37]

They have addressed it. They just won't fix it because they view other things have greater priority.

MFCDs looks too grainy, very eye straining to read.

The mcfds seems to have a sort of filter that makes the screens looks pixelated, most of the time its hard to read your HSD page because of this. I don't know if this is an intended feature, if it is, is there any plans to add an option to remove this filter?

You happen to have in settings set a value for screens 512 instead 1024? As that is affecting for mirrors, HUD and MFCD's in the aircraft.

 

But those real MFCD's ain't high resolution to begin with even. And I believe there is a own shader effect for those graphics instead just clean and plain resolution with pixels visible, that is causing blurring etc.

 

But then again if you have VR etc, you get problems with these visual effects on displays.

If that was a consistent problem across all aircraft and their displays, I might agree. But in VR, those problems are unique to the F-16 for me, and for many other VR users.

i've tried both 512 and 1024 and no difference. And im not a vr user, i use trackIR.. its the only module plane that i own that gives me this issue.

for those that want something as a workaround, till ED fixes it.

[Contact409]

i'd request increase the contrast of brightness of the mfd, it's really hard to read sometimes

Thanks!!

How come you guys have colours on your HSDs? Mine are just white on black and naff resolution.

Hi all

 

Contrast and brightness will be tweaked and added, it should make things easier for some once this can be adjusted.

 

thanks

[everest101]

And where are the MFD colors?

 

Are color MFDs in Falcon4 BMS a cheat implementation? Do the real F-16 Vipers have color MFD displays. My guess is that YES they do have color displays.

 

And having vivid color MFD displays in the DCS F-16 would probably solve some readability issues.

 

...just a thought and a wish for improvement!

 

 

Everest...Out!

The colours are correct for a USAF/ANG 2007 jet, other products are probably using a different version or year.

Please say this is a priority. Ive completely given up with this sim until its fixed.

Until what is fixed??? The colours are correct for the model of aircraft that is being modelled?

 

Or do you mean the readability?
