Crysinator Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 (edited) Hello, I've noticed that the WMD7 screen is not effected by other visual effects. For reference please have a look at the attached file. Also the datalink pod shows a weird behavior: If the video feed is first established the image is very sharp and focused. When you zoom in it becomes less sharp. Now when you zoom out again it stays unfocused like in the zoomed in state. It's hard to hit precise shots this way. Thank you! - Crysinator Edited April 25, 2020 by uboats Hardware: Intel i7-6700K (OC) - 16GB DDR4 (OC) - Asus Z170 - MSI GTX 1080 (OC) Input: TrackIR 5 - Thrustmaster Warthog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crysinator Posted April 22, 2020 Author Share Posted April 22, 2020 I'm more concerned with the WMD7 screen that is very dark in my screenshot when it should be bright like the rest. I'll wait for the update and report back. Thank you for the reply.

Crysinator Posted April 23, 2020 Author Share Posted April 23, 2020 I got that but shouldn't "black" be equally black for all MFCDs? Because in the screenshot every screen looks the same but the area where the TGP is displayed is much more dark. In my mind this should look just like all the other screens.

TGP has its own brightness(level) and gain settings for the output video feed, U should try adjust the level(brightness) to -1 or 0 at closer range. I'm sure you will get a much better video feed.

I'm sure you will get a much better video feed. From the screenshot it looks like it’s more of a backlight issue with the screens themselves and not referring to the color/brightness of the pod image output.

The screenshot's TGP seemed still caged in the bay, video feed is not actived. Deka Ironwork Tester Team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaHeen-1 Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 This is why you dont park your Jeff in the sun without cockpit cover. It will damage the screens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crysinator Posted April 23, 2020 Author Share Posted April 23, 2020 I think we are not talking about the same thing. Sorry for my bad explanation if that's the case. I've tried to replicate the look using Photoshop. Please tell me if the MFCD should look like the photoshopped screenshot I've attached.

foxwxl Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Did you turned on global illumation? Your rendering is not quite like my side. Deka Ironwork Tester Team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mseraser Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 It's very hard to make everything on screen affect by it, also those one who export the MFD to second monitor / touch screen or any display device need the display it self to be clean and they dont want any special effect with it. So the backlight is just some "eye candy" for now, and remind the pilot there's a day/night mode switch. We are trying to find some work around, this may change later.

Crysinator Posted April 24, 2020 Author Share Posted April 24, 2020 (edited) Yes I have global illumination turned on. Should it be disabled? Also thank you very much mseraserf or the detailed explanation! The JF-17 is an awesome module. Keep up the great work.

Tiger-II Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 WMD7 image is too dark. Definitely bugged. Not MFD problem. See my other thread, https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=271160 . Motorola 68000 | 1 Mb | Debug port "When performing a forced landing, fly the aircraft as far into the crash as possible." - Bob Hoover. The JF-17 is not better than the F-16; it's different. It's how you fly that counts. "An average aircraft with a skilled pilot, will out-perform the superior aircraft with an average pilot." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a CAS quick mission the WMD7 video settings are extremely low brightness values, IIRC a -7 for brightness and -4 for contrast. And that ends up to have black screen that shows you some bright day time sky features. But once you set them higher you get normal viewing. i7-8700k, 32GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 2x 2080S SLI 8GB, Oculus Rift S. i7-8700k, 16GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 1080Ti 11GB, 27" 4K, 65" HDR 4K.
