diveplane Posted July 31, 2020 Posted July 31, 2020 (edited) wanted to thank ED for the superb night lighting we are getting in the sim now, the planes lights have came a long way and u guys are on the right direction now, landing lights are blinding which is the way it should be. my 2 cents is the lod distances need a touch more increased and landing lights should be seen much further out on approach bloom effect halo at distance. really enjoy night flying in DCS now. post some night shots guys...

wilbur81 Posted July 31, 2020 Posted July 31, 2020 Hey, Diveplane. What are your in-game gamma settings? If I have gamma up high enough to make city lights realistic, nose wheel lights are too bright. If I have gamma low enough to make the nose wheel look good, city lights are too dim. i7 8700K @ Stock - Win10 64 - 32 RAM - RTX 3080 12gb OC - 55 inch 4k Display

Corsi Posted August 3, 2020 Posted August 3, 2020 But... when you park or drive by under floodlights at an airport, your plane is still dark. i can not make a screenshot at the moment but i will add that later. Gruß / Greetings Corsi

The floodlights are baked not dynamic lights, which is a shame.

FoxTwo Posted August 3, 2020 Posted August 3, 2020 At the expense of blowing out and over exposing the daytime sadly.
Bob1943 Posted August 4, 2020 Posted August 4, 2020 had to post this one beautiful shot .. The two main landing gear in that screenshot look like they are suspended in air. There needs to be some shadowing around those tires to make them appear to be on the ground.
Harker Posted August 4, 2020 Posted August 4, 2020 The two main landing gear in that screenshot look like they are suspended in air. There needs to be some shadowing around those tires to make them appear to be on the ground.That'd require that the taxi lights would interact with 3D models and cast shadows, which is not the case in DCS. Only the sun creates shadows. The vCVW-17 is looking for Hornet and Tomcat pilots and RIOs. Join the vCVW-17 Discord.

diveplane Posted December 5, 2020 Author Posted December 5, 2020 (edited) this shot is killer the lighting actually lights rain droplets and fog patches in sim now as well as landing lamps.. stunning hope we can get this effect flying through clouds as well.

Shadow KT Posted December 7, 2020 Posted December 7, 2020 Too bad they tuned down some of the lights. Initially in 2.5.6 you could see reflections from the navigation lights and gear lights on the ground, as in the original pictures posted here, but I guess in the process of fixing some bloom issues, we lost that 'Shadow' Everybody gotta be offended and take it personally now-a-days
