Padonis Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 After the last update, HUD and HMD are very poorly visible. Similarly with DDI, they are very dark. Similarly with HUD in A-10C. This is very little visible. Virtually nothing can be seen on a lighter background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Padonis Posted June 3, 2020 Author Share Posted June 3, 2020 This applies to the whole game, everything is much brighter, you should go down in GAMMA. Unfortunately, the cockpit becomes very dark, HUD, HMD and DDI are created very dark and barely visible. Applies to all aircraft. The new patch has a lot of interesting patches and news, for which I thank you very much. However, the lighting has become tragic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imacken Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Yep, the lighting is off in this new patch. Everything is too bright and turning down gamma just makes cockpits too dark.

Airhunter Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Surprised this has gotten worse rather than better. The new lighting is a total mess during daylight, what it really is is just a HDR filter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrBackJack Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Surprised this has gotten worse rather than better. The new lighting is a total mess during daylight, what it really is is just a HDR filter. I like how the other sim does it. A visor you can toggle during the day that cuts down on hdr and increasing hud and jhmcs readability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc3908 Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Yep, the lighting is off in this new patch. Everything is too bright and turning down gamma just makes cockpits too dark. Totally agree.

wilbur81 Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Totally agree. I just reverted to the previous version of 2.5.6. Agreed.

Eldur Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 I just flew the P-47 and was barely able to see the reticle, so even those seem to be affected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizard_03 Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 (edited) Time for a hotfix! lol It seems like external and point light sources are better, The Position Lights, Caution/warning are all better then they were. But whatever was done globally needs to be tweaked so sunlight doesn't washout everything. Its not just the HUD and HMD its lighting in general.

RSharpe Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 The brightness has always been a problem on the MFDs, but now the direct sun from behind the cockpit washes out the MFDs entirely, and even the HUD and JHMCS is washed out at some angles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supernovali Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 +1 I play in rift. I really like how the crosshair moves now when you move your head. I play rift and this makes it way easier to get a track when you have to swing your head one for one in game but the brightness on the hmd and hud are absolutely horrible now. I can barely see anything. the hud and hmd are way washed out now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chipensaw Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 +1, I thought it was me till I read this thread. Very washed out, Global lighting is very bright, I have lowered gamma from 1.9 to 1.7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
