StarLiner Posted May 20, 2021 Posted May 20, 2021 Howdy! I've been playing a lot with a Quest 2 lately, and just wondering if anybody has noticed something or if it's just me. Is it my imagination or is the canopy directly to the front, where the gunsight is, especially dirty? It's grey and dark to the point where I can barely make out a runway or ground targets If I'm looking directly in front, but if I look out the side it's perfectly fine. It's especially noticeable if the runway is under a cloud or other kind of shadow.
Qiou87 Posted May 20, 2021 Posted May 20, 2021 (edited) Hi, I play with a Reverb G2. I fly the F-5E quite a lot recently, playing the great DLC campaign '79 black sea resolve from @SorelRo. I did notice that front visibility is not optimal in the HUD glass area, however I would not say it is too dark. It is simply dirty/prone to reflection, so depending on lighting conditions it can be a bit tricky to see from there. It seems actually quite realistic to me given the geometry of that area. I actually turn off the gun sight if I am not attacking, I find that it improves visibility. As you say, moving your head to the side of the HUD is also a solution. Maybe you are using a too-low gamma setting? I think mine is around 1.7-1.8. This is not specific to F-5E. I remember flying at night in the F-16C especially low to the ground, I had to move my head to the side (to avoid seing through the HUD) to see what was coming in front. The HUD usually is darker that looking straight out of the canopy: it is an additional piece of glass after all.

I don't think I've touched my gamma since installing, so I'll give that a try tonight and see how it works.
