[W.I.P] Comparison of nightly cockpits: before and after recent update?

[MaclimRakesh]

There is some discussion here about the A-10C cockpit visualization at night.

Some people say „I’m fine as it is“ others have issues.

I did a comparison between 2 nightly A-10C cockpits: old version vs. new one.

(scenery was CAU, Batumi RWY at 23h / 11 p.m.)  Mobdro

 

Left image is a screenshot taken from an old stable version (2.5.3.24984)  VidMate and the right image was taken from the recent open beta (2.5.5.41372)

The following settings were equally applied to both shots:

 

cockpit flood light: to max

gamma: max = 3.5

brightness: 50% on my EIZO monitor (FS2333)

 

I hope this comparison helps to understand the issues some users have.

A professionell monitor will probably have more possibilities to adjust the brightness levels, but I'm not sure it's hardware only.

One (simple) reason for the darker cockpit might be the fact, that the flood light setting in the new cockpit seems to have almost no effect.

The OpenBeta has been updated to 2.5.6 almost exactly one year ago (the Stable followed in May 2020). Besides the missing images, maybe you should redo the test in an up to date version?
