Please remove baked in cockpit reflections!

[Lennoxonnell]

The baked in reflections inside the cockpit are absolutely gross. They only look correct when viewed at from the right angle, and even then they can still be washed out by the in game lighting and look absolutely atrocious. Almost as if they are translucent stickers on the glass...

These baked in reflections are present in every aircraft, and while I understand that it seems more realistic to have some sort of reflections on the glass surfaces, in practice it looks horrible. It obscures sight pictures, especially in aircraft like the SU-25T which has the green thingy reflected all over the HUD. I feel bad for newbies.

 

I think I can speak on behalf of over 95% of the community and say that we would much rather see them removed from the game entirely. The new SSLR setting that is in the works could replace this dated baked in reflection nonsense and it would be optional.

 

Please ED! This needs to be addressed and remedied.

Hi Lennoxonnell

 

Reflection issues are reported.

 

The team are considering making it optional, when we know more we will let you know.

Thanks so much BIGNEWY! You have no idea how happy I am to here that. Making them optional would be a huge step in the right direction! Keep up the great work!

Amen to that. I'm really rooting for this one.

Su-25A ClearHUD will allow you to remove the reflections of the ASP-17 sight in the Su-25A

 

Su-25T - HUD Glass Mod will allow you to remove the HUD reflections of the Su-25T

 

MiG-29 ClearHUD will allow you to remove the HUD reflections of any MiG-29 type

Hi,

 

So far I have manage to get rid of the reflections in the F18 & Heuy. No time for the other modules yet.

An official in game option to turn them off would be great. Please ED

Baked in reflections are so horrible for VR. For 2D I think it somewhat adds something. An option would be awesome.

Weird I have not noticed this in VR at all. Must be too busy looking at the FPS counter.

this prevented me from going to beta, and now it's in stable too. it's fugly, I've stopped playing

This effect REALLY needs to be optional.
