fitness88 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 (edited) When flying with others in a night mission, the gamma setting is allowing for everyone to have different degrees of darkness. Is there a way to force calibrate everyone to see the same degree of darkness to keep things realistically fair? Thank you.

fitness88 Posted January 18, 2020 Author Share Posted January 18, 2020 There is no (feasible) way to control other people's physical displays. And I suppose if the mission called for a gamma setting of 1.7...everyone's 1.7 would look different anyway. I like it to be dark at the appropriate time and dusk to be dusk. I look at the mission clock and adjust to what I think it should look like...gotta be a better way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Screens, VR, Graphiccards, personal glasses and so on. Just adjust it to your advantage, no faul play there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harzach Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 One thing to keep in mind is that the realism/enjoyment boundary is different for everybody. For some, there can't be enough realism. For others, even taking off from the runway is too much to ask. Adding an element of difficulty to your mission that can easily be circumvented through outside means is setting yourself up for disappointment. Gamers increasing gamma to maximize visibility has been a problem for many years. I first saw it in the original DayZ mod for Arma 2, but I'm sure it goes back further with twitch shooters like Counterstrike or Quake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kailux Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Its called "calibrating monitors" what ensures everybodys got the same and accurate image, but its something DCS users are resisting at any cost. Read the dozen of A-10C dark cockpit threads for lulz. Gone for good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

discwalker Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 @fitness88 Believe me, the max gamma of 3.5 is enough dark when you try to land at night to an unlit runway in Caucasus, unlit because of DCS 2.5.0 inherited MP incompleteness (bug https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=201610) If you miss to spot the runway threshold markings, landing is impossible. Cockpit displays of Su-25T are almost unreadable at 3.5 gamma, very rude. Visibility only improve slightly in external view.

I agree with you that's why I posted, not appreciating the technical difficulties some may have with midnight darkness. I fly F-18 in VR and am comfortable with midnight darkness.
