Dawn/dusk lighting

[TonyG]

Currently (when it's working) the Stennis only lights up at night. In VR, the deck is quite hard to see in dawn/dusk lighting situations for lineup.

 

 

Will the SuperCarrier be able to have its lights turned on for dawn/dusk flightops?

+1. I wonder this my self too. Unfortunately I think we are in front of a DCS limitation here, where the whole engine doesn't have a logic for low visibility where lights are needed. So I doubt they fixed it for the SC. I hope I'm wrong 100%.

If the SC works the same as land bases, then it should support lighting IF the mission starts during what’s still considered “Night”

 

On our NTTR DS, we have two flavors of missions per weather pattern we use. One starts at 1930L which is after sunset but then we also have a set that start at 0430L. The latter is just barely still “night” but the lights are on as the sun is just coming up. It’s a workaround but it does work for having lights on at Dawn.

I'm pretty tired of workarounds, I'd love to see some fixes.

I am hoping when IMC even at noon, the lights are on (If that happens IRL)

 

For example Dark thunderstorm at noon during recovery.

If they fail to simulate that then it won't be so super. Let's hope ED uses their great people to accomplish this.

That’s another great point. Case II poor weather or Case III in brutal weather, the lights should come on during the day. I’m not convinced it works like that now.

I just found out something really nice. After last update AI units do not land on carriers unless it is fully day light and no bad visibility. Good one!

I've also noticed that all those recent pretty screenshots showing the night lighting with the floodlights on the deck, are gone from the deveplopment screenshots section at DCS website since a few days ago.

 

I wonder if it's just an error or something related with changes with the lighting. They looked really cool and realistic.

Last update broke a ton of core things. Basically a lot of things they marked as fixed broke a different aspect of the same category. We are not in a good time for dcs, let's hope the team can solve the issues.
