Bearfoot Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 As the title says, it is a bit difficult. Especially the numerical/digital drum embedded in the barometric altimeter. I need to use zoom and lean in. The issue is that the numbers/background are lower contrast and dim. I understand that this is the authentic look. it would be nice if we could dial it up in brightness to accommodate desktop visual realism (while the colors/brightness/tone might be objectively correctly rendered, this does not map to realistic perception?). I am aware of some mods that brighten the labels. As far as I know they either: (1) fail IC (2) do not change the dials/instrumnets (3) or both For the devs: is it possible to allow cockpit mods to pass IC so we can read the dials? For the community (including the devs): does the Rift S provide enough of a improvement over the Rift non-S so you can read the instruments (reference benchmark: the 1000's and 10000's numerical drum embedded in the altimetere) without leaning in? Other than that, just want to say (again) to the devs and support: THANK YOU! I have not touched anything else since it came out. I am not just LOVING but LIVING this module!

Its awsome https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3303911/ Maybe, but it does not enhance the brightness/contrast/clarity of the digits in the embedded drums.

MPK Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 I use this one (non VR). It improves everything, including dials: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3304383/ Does not work in multiplayer unfortunately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronMike Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Our apologies for that, but in order to keep the images still realistic this is the limit of VR we are running in to. Making it any more readable would make it look less as it was in real life. Thanks to all the modders who provide an excellent alternative for those who do not mind to have everything a bit thicker, etc..

Mods help out, but perhaps if the devs could provide support for custom cockpit mods like this one: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3304383/ so that they do not fail the integrity check it could help out a lot?

Hawkeye_UK Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Rift S for me was a big jump in clarity in all the pits and game in general. Best £400 spent - DCS looks so much better i wasn't expecting much and was more than pleasantly surprised, no more leaning in. For me its what VR needed (i had the rift since dev kit, then the standard release yet still preferred to play for the immersion and 1-1 tracking which i think is a huge tactical SA plus). Rift S everything is better especially visually ID A2A and A2G CAS is like a different game. I've not been back to the original rift - its sat gathering dust! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DCS & BMS F14B | AV-8B | F15E | F18C | F16C | F5 | F86 | A10C | JF17 | Viggen |Mirage 2000 | F1 | L-39 | C101 | Mig15 | Mig21 | Mig29 | SU27 | SU33 | F15C | AH64 | MI8 | Mi24 | Huey | KA50 | Gazelle | P47 | P51 | BF109 | FW190A/D | Spitfire | Mossie | CA | Persian Gulf | Nevada | Normandy | Channel | Syria | South Atlantic | Sinai Liquid Cooled ROG 690 13700K @ 5.9Ghz | RTX3090 FTW Ultra | 64GB DDR4 3600 MHz | 2x2TB SSD m2 Samsung 980/990 | Pimax Crystal/Reverb G2 | MFG Crosswinds | Virpil T50/CM3 | Winwing & Cougar MFD's | Buddyfox UFC | Winwing TOP & CP | Jetseat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye_UK Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 ps - re the F14 i do use the first mod that was mentioned have it in my save games folder and it doesnt break the IC for multiplayer now. That said the original pit looks fine, i just prefer the new less worn out txt look. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DCS & BMS F14B | AV-8B | F15E | F18C | F16C | F5 | F86 | A10C | JF17 | Viggen |Mirage 2000 | F1 | L-39 | C101 | Mig15 | Mig21 | Mig29 | SU27 | SU33 | F15C | AH64 | MI8 | Mi24 | Huey | KA50 | Gazelle | P47 | P51 | BF109 | FW190A/D | Spitfire | Mossie | CA | Persian Gulf | Nevada | Normandy | Channel | Syria | South Atlantic | Sinai Liquid Cooled ROG 690 13700K @ 5.9Ghz | RTX3090 FTW Ultra | 64GB DDR4 3600 MHz | 2x2TB SSD m2 Samsung 980/990 | Pimax Crystal/Reverb G2 | MFG Crosswinds | Virpil T50/CM3 | Winwing & Cougar MFD's | Buddyfox UFC | Winwing TOP & CP | Jetseat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The default pit is a work of art and definitely a new standard for DCS! But it will also be nice when the third party pits can pass the integrity check for multiplayer :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it will also be nice when the third party pits can pass the integrity check for multiplayer :) Maybe if they're validated... but if somebody were to texture some invisible skins, it'd create a false competitive advantage. I understand why these textures are part of the IC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Looney Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Copying the mod to the saved games folder doesn't solve the IC check?

DarkStar79 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Yes, this solves the issue. Thanks! But, as you say, fails integrity check for multiplayer :( It doesnt fail integrity check now! You can use it in multiplayer now. Just read the latest guide on how to do it. When you download the newest version of the mod you have instructions on how to do it. Its super easy!

Bearfoot Posted October 29, 2019 Author Share Posted October 29, 2019 https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3303911/ Works perfect in multiplayer! It does ... but it does not fix the numerical digit drums in the barometric altimeter that was the reason for my post. So while it works for other folks, it does not help even if it passes IC. The other mod (Drunken Sailor) DOES help, but it does not pass IC. Anyway, for future reference, the solution I went with was ... the Rift S. The bump in clarity is not just significant and noticeable, it allows me to read the instruments. Still need to lean in to read the digits, but this is so much more manageable than leaning in AND zooming in terms of time, mental effort, and minimizing disorientation.
