cannot reproduce and missing track file Possible to remove the glare/tint effect from the canopy?

[FoxTwo]

I'm not talking about the gold or transparent canopy, or the reflections, I'm talking about the mask/shader/haze/glare effect that gets applied to the inside of the F-16 canopy and makes the entire world look glazed over.

 

Any idea where I can nuke that in the lua? It's not so bad in flat screen but in VR it feels like I've got vaseline over the lenses.

Do you mean this "yellow" glare effect? Like I reported in this thread: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=280989

 

 

I'd also like to know how to remove or reduce this effect, as it's a bit overdone imho

This seems to have done the trick.

Thanks for the link, I'll be sure to grab that. Can't stand the overly done modification to the canopy, we were making head way with reflections and tint, but we are back to more distractions on the canopy. I think some don't understand that the brain and eyes work hard of seeing through the stuff in real life, but when it comes to a computer screen or VR headset, we can't look through because it's stealing the focus.

Thanks for pointing out that mod FoxTwo :thumbup:

 

Does it pass IC though?

[FoxTwo]

It's considered a custom cockpit, which always passes IC.

Thanks for the link @FoxTwo! That effect can be problematic at sunset even on a flat screen.

I just wish ED will manage to implement some subtle Screen Space Reflection on the canopies and other surfaces at some point. It would be interesting and add a welcome touch of realism. (the recent Ka-50 cockpit uses the SSR effect in the cockpit - but not glass surfaces - so they might be experimenting)

Having zero reflections from the cockpit green lighting at night feels weird :)

 

But with all that reflective surface it's probably quite a technical challenge.

It seems all that did was remove the yellow tint on the yellow tint canopy option.

Why use mods when it is in special options already?

Appreciated, but turning reflections and tint off doesn't have an effect on the goofy canopy glare that bounces around the glass.

Any answer to this?

I don’t think ED actually tests in VR - these are so obvious when you use the F-16

This is simply not true, many of our testers and team prefer to fly and test the game in VR. Thanks.

When I asked how it was tested, I found out the tester was saying there wasn't this issue and that they were using a 4k monitor .   And quite a few responses are like 'it's fine' then you see they are on a 4k monitor.   When I use my 4k monitor it looks obviously better, but it's dim in the G2, which is one of the higher res VR headset.  

There has been a real lack of acknowledgement that at certain TOD - the red datalink contacts, no matter how bright or contrast applied are barely visible.   It doesn't give much confidence where there has been no response on this by the ED team.   So if you are testing it in VR then I'm wondering why after all this, that there has been no acknowledgement of an issue we see both in a G2 and a Pimax 8kx

Fly VR, stick your head out the canopy, note what it looks like.

The film in the aircraft is way overdone.  Note the difference.  Canopy reflections 'none' is a joke - I have glare all over the place.  Can barely see out of it .

please attach track and screenshot of your settings,

I am not seeing this in VR
