randomTOTEN Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 No problems seeing it from at least "the start." Even when the lights are bunched together you can still judge the glide path from it... takes a little getting used to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldur Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 I'd suggest ED to implement some kind of mirror of those lights (the IFLOLS as well as the other one for the localizer) to the RCtrl+Enter overlay of the Hornet, or just do it the way Heatblur did with the Tomcat (the colored boxes thing).

Steel Jaw Posted March 31, 2020 Author Share Posted March 31, 2020 Well, shipmates, I have a 27" monitor with grafic settings maxed and at 3/4 mile cant see it worth spit. Certainly not usable for me. "You see, IronHand is my thing" My specs: W10 Pro, I5/11600K o/c to 4800 @1.32v, 64 GB 3200 XML RAM, ASUS RTX3060ti/8GB.

104th_Maverick Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Curses! I'd recommend using zoom to help you then sir, while not ideal, it could help to zoom in further than you would normally do so you can see the ball and start ball flying as soon as you get in the groove, then approaching the ramp zoom out to your normal zoom level.

victorlima01 Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Yep I do it the way Tom Cruise describes it. As soon as I'm rolling wings level and entering the groove I'll zoom way in and scan away (ball, lineup, AOA). I have a crappy 22" monitor from 1875 and I can see the ball this way from about a mile away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

randomTOTEN Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 (edited) CLARA, you're low. Your zoom is fine. IFLOS is fine. Easy to read. "Oh ye of little faith, look how big that is!" Edited March 31, 2020 by randomTOTEN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victorlima01 Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 I'm having a hard time discerning the meatball with that zoom level. But my mind's eye tells me you're low from the deck's aspect. Try doing it with a bit more zoom when in groove. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LTRMcrew Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 if you're too low the "meatball" is under the ifols essentially so you'll need to climb a bit to get the meatball back in the rack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyborg71 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 I see the OP's point and agree. If you (in that screenshot) remove the needles, things change. You're now getting the "Low" from deck spotting and experience of correct sight picture until the lights appear. This will all be in some part resolved by LSO feedback (hopefully). Personally the biggest problem for me is the lights are often blocked by the left hud readouts. So other than winding down the hud brightness or moving my head around a lot I think the meatball needs to be intensified. I add that I'm also old(ish), use glasses and have an average 1080 monitor.

draconus Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Mower, your fov is too big for 27" unless you sit like 20cm from it. Look for true fov to see the angular sizes a pilot would and your spotting will greatly improve.

=4c=Nikola Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Am i stupid? On the picture on top i see the ball between the green lines. You're not stupid, but they've proved the point. IFLOS is hard to see at reasonable FOV. Do not expect fairness. The times of chivalry and fair competition are long gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

randomTOTEN Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 (edited) Yup, I got egg on my face here. :doh: I had to zoom in a little bit to see the ball centered...oops. Would have helped if I had seen the ICLS needles were centered. :P My bad. I'll try and take a screenshot in the same position and see if it looks the same. I do stand by my assertion that it's "usable"... even if I *personally* lack the ability to read it! EDIT: Nah, I'm gonna stick with my original judgement. Here's a compilation of some screenshots to explain. Mower, either you've got a graphical issue, or that's not a visible ball.. and we're misinterpreting a ball that's not there. This is what I see when I turn final.. ball is clearly visible. Edited April 2, 2020 by randomTOTEN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWC_SLAG Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 If you zoom in on pretty much anything, it will be visible. With everything else to watch during an approach, zooming in is too much, and the HUD figures are in the way. In real life, the ball obviously is easily seen. We are all using a monitor. This is a game, so give us a break and make the iiflos more visible.

randomTOTEN Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 (edited) There's something wrong with Mower's IFOLS. Likely related to a graphics setting or some mod. Excessive zooming shouldn't be required.. I only zoomed in to highlight the differences. Just like this photo is expanded to the extreme.. there's a color difference here... I don't know why, and it does appear to make his ball harder to see (or perhaps I was not expecting to see that color?). Is this affecting anybody else too? I originally thought it was CLARA.

AG-51_Razor Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 I wish they would paint that sensor ball, radra cover, or whatever the heck it is that is right behind (forward of) the IFOLS dark grey or something other than the bright white it is now. That dang thing is always a distraction when I am in the groove. :wallbash: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steel Jaw Posted April 3, 2020 Author Share Posted April 3, 2020 I have no grafic mods that would be relevant. How can i be low when the ILS glideslop is bang on?
