Faks Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 It’s hilarious and very predictable that the same group that has a thread that is literally hundreds of posts long, discussing that the new viper must be authentic and true to the real thing, sometimes even frantically like a rabid foaming dog, immediately complain and ask for it to be switched back when the canopy is tinted true to real life. The same group that reports things like turn speed being off by 5 knots, or the breaks seeming to slow the plane down 15 feet longer than they think it should, cant stand a canopy that looks real. This is hilarious and unfortunately completely predictable. Very true. I like the golden, feels more immersive to me. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
animaal Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 I think I remember reading that an F-16 could have gold, blue or clear glass, depending on coatings. Here's an image showing gold and clear together on a single aircraft: http://www.f-16.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=12283 So I suppose it's less a question of realism, and more a personal preference.

Hummingbird Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Would be cool if they could make it seem a little more goldish (like below), instead of just a shade of yellow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Negative. We have a U.S. f-16. Gold in canopy goes back to the 60’s for anti radiation among other things. We still have gold canopies. Look at pics of US f-22’s and f-35’s, gold canopies. What other countries do is of no concern as our viper is a US model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenux Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 For anyone who wants to remove the tint here is a small description.lua - simply extract and drop the folder Cockpit_F-16C into your SavedGames/DCS/Liveries. No other changes are needed and it passes IC. I also hope there will be a special option between 'tint' and 'no tint', that would be the easiest... Thank you Is that possible to remove the tint, at all??

I wonder then is it lighting conditions that make these U.S. canopies appear clear and tinted. Or maybe the gold tinting varies in hue for different batches, or by age.

randomTOTEN Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 I like it. I really like it. Just like I liked it when the Hog got the gold glazing on it's windscreen some years ago. these U.S. canopies appear clear and tinted.I can see the gold glazing in both those photos.

McRuffen Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 I think it looks great in the newest version. The tinted glass makes it feel like I'm sitting under a huge canopy and I love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nicktune1219 Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Imagine unironically complaining about how the Viper is unrealistic and how you want it to be the realest thing ever, yet you complain about a slight yellow tint in the canopy as if its a massive deal breaker, and the worst thing ever. It's about as realistic as you will get, so stop complaining about it like a child. Oh my gosh, who cares if you have to see the green color of the trees slightly brownish? This is so childish. :megalol::doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schurem Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 I've grown to like it. Especially desert environments look sweet with the yellow tint. It's like you are wearing a huge sunglass. I5 9600KF, 32GB, 3080ti, G2, PointCTRL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bies Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 I like the yellowish canopy effect in VR very much. They may include non-gold canopy but this would increase RCS making F-16 easier to detect by radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
