F14A (late) low-viz liveries too white/bright?


Recommended Posts

I just noticed that most of the low-viz liveries are a bit too white or have a white underside when compared to pictures online and the B skins. Especially the VF-211 livery seems like pieced together from two different jets or paint schemes.

A lot of it could be due to time of day when photos of the real birds were taken, also general grime being a factor on the real birds. All in all, the skins provided are pretty darn good.

It's not a gamma thing though. Turning down gamma also makes the internal lights and especially the AOA indexer unreadable. All other modules are fine no matter tha gamma value and this is just silly at this point. HB need to do a lot of bugfixing the coming months...

It's 1.9.

 

It's also high noon in your mission, judging by the shadow. The worst lighting possible in DCS.

 

Also, the sidewinder missile racks look super dark and out of place compared to ther rest of the plane. This just seems very rushed for me.

 

Sidewinder racks aren't textured, and haven't been since the B's release.

Mission was set to 08AM local. And it pretty much looks like that at all times. The A is waaaay too white, while the B low viz. liveries are completely fine in the same conditions. This, the stock pilots and mis-matched missile rails seem just very rushed to me and not up to par with the B.
