bonesvf103 Posted July 15, 2020 Posted July 15, 2020 So I and others have been complaining about how the AOA indexer is dim, especially when the sun shines right on it. No one at Heatblur seems to hear it...so it seems...so... ..What do you do to be able to see the AOA indexer? I'm tired of not being able to see it no matter what I do. It used to be better before the last update with the horrid cockpit lighting they did, but not by much. I wish it was as bright as the Hornet's, it's really costing me some good approaches. v6, boNes "Also, I would prefer a back seater over the extra gas any day.

Nexus-6 Posted July 15, 2020 Posted July 15, 2020 I've tried teaching myself to (mostly) ignore it and focus on the airframe buffet instead. For landings I just sort of...wing it. Can't pretend fly as well as you can.
Emmy Posted July 15, 2020 Posted July 15, 2020 I’ll trade you for the one in the Viper which can’t be dimmed enough. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] http://www.476vfightergroup.com/content.php High Quality Aviation Photography For Personal Enjoyment And Editorial Use. www.crosswindimages.com

Cobra847 Posted July 15, 2020 Posted July 15, 2020 We'll make another pass to try and tweak the balance between eye-blinding light intensities at night vis-a-vis visibility at day for the next patch (in August). :) Nicholas Dackard Founder & Lead Artist Heatblur Simulations https://www.facebook.com/heatblur/
Spiceman Posted July 15, 2020 Posted July 15, 2020 Lord, there are three sources of AOA info with 1 degree FOV from each other. Pick one.

AndrewCZ Posted July 17, 2020 Posted July 17, 2020 It doesn't seem to react to the respective thumbwheel ATM, that's the main problem. Once that works, you can make it a lot brighter at 9 while making it dim enough for NVG use at 1.
