Fercyful Posted June 3, 2020 Posted June 3, 2020 (edited) Hi there! Open beta 2.5.6.50321 Seems that the lights are bugged. Too dim. F-14 seems out of battery :joystick: Tested at several missions and maps/day/night. Not using mods. Steam version. :helpsmilie: thanks! Edited June 17, 2020 by IronMike
Manhorne Posted June 3, 2020 Posted June 3, 2020 I can confirm that as well. The AOA indicator, The wing sweep indicator especially.
51GRIZZLY Posted June 3, 2020 Posted June 3, 2020 Have the same problem, allso the instrument lighting is much to weak
AvroLanc Posted June 3, 2020 Posted June 3, 2020 Can confirm, looks like pilot only, but it makes it extremely difficult to read lights. Especially caution panel.
spec10 Posted June 3, 2020 Posted June 3, 2020 apparently it's all the planes. A10 master caution is "illuminating" black, SU-33 RWR is unreadable, the list goes on.
Airhunter Posted June 3, 2020 Posted June 3, 2020 Yep, the lighting is seriously messed up in this update. How did no one test this prior to pushing this? It literally took everyone 5 minutes to notice.

Gone1Crazy Posted June 4, 2020 Posted June 4, 2020 Not sure what you mean by that? My bad thought It was some sort of addon . :megalol: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
IronMike Posted June 4, 2020 Posted June 4, 2020 Yep, the lighting is seriously messed up in this update. How did no one test this prior to pushing this? It literally took everyone 5 minutes to notice. We did test it and pushed it anyway, because there was no other choice, unless you want us to work only on lights for the next XY updates... We explained this numerous times now, guys. Let us please stop wasting time on this issue. Once ED is done with their adjustments, we will tweak the lights back to normal. That depends on ED, not us. Thank you for your kind patience.

Blood-n-Guts Posted June 5, 2020 Posted June 5, 2020 +1 Left Windshield Frame and Right Windshield Frame are impossible to see just like the pilot caution panel FORTIS FORTUNA ADIUVAT
Blood-n-Guts Posted June 5, 2020 Posted June 5, 2020 I think the topic is deviating from the beginning of this, we are talking about the warning lights which are not seen at all. FORTIS FORTUNA ADIUVAT
RustBelt Posted June 6, 2020 Posted June 6, 2020 We explained this numerous times now, guys. Let us please stop wasting time on this issue. No, you've posted it numerous times., but have never made any kind of Top level sticky or update post about it. Just because You saw every thread you posted this in, doesn't mean everyone else has looked at them. Until Heatblur widely disseminates the information expect to copy and paste the same thing over and over again.

In this situation, a little note at the end of Heatblur F-14 update like: 'Known issue(s) ........... so on and so forth is not working' This will better prepare the minds of people on what to expect when updating to the latest patch. Blame are appropriately apportioned also. My two cents. Windows 10 Pro 64bit|Ryzen 5600 @3.8Ghz|EVGA RTX 3070 XC3 Ultra|Corair vengence 32G DDR4 @3200mhz|MSI B550|Thrustmaster Flightstick| Virpil CM3 Throttle| Thrustmaster TFRP Rudder Pedal /Samsung Odyssey Plus Headset
Marnes23 Posted June 7, 2020 Posted June 7, 2020 The F-14 is now unusable for me, I can not see any warning lights or ACM panel lights. This is in my opinion unacceptable. I understand the issue is on EDs side but since we are paying top dollar for these modules they should at least be able to be used even in open beta.
Dieter351068 Posted June 7, 2020 Posted June 7, 2020 Open Beta 2.5.6.50321 Cockpit Indicators shine very dimly After the Update the Advisory Indicator without Function Many other Lights, z.b Weapons Panel shine very dimly.
IronMike Posted June 8, 2020 Posted June 8, 2020 My apologies guys, you are right, just because I answered it numerous times, it does not mean you have seen it. We will fix it asap, but we need to wait out ED, or else we would do the same work over and over again and not get to anything else. Please understand that this is not a question of want, but can. We want nothing more to get the lights back to normal. Thank you for your kind patience in the meantime.

Nealius Posted June 8, 2020 Posted June 8, 2020 The thing that concerns me is that one or two patches after we get the lighting fixed, ED will change the lighting system again and it will break again. It's happened more than three times in the past few years.
RustBelt Posted June 8, 2020 Posted June 8, 2020 I think at that point it’s really something to bring up to ED not Heatblur. They’re along for the ride just like we are.
Nealius Posted June 9, 2020 Posted June 9, 2020 I think at that point it’s really something to bring up to ED not Heatblur. They’re along for the ride just like we are. I'm sure HB and other 3rd parties have brought it up with ED in the past and ED still hasn't changed.
