OLD CROW Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Please, could you fade out a bit the glass cockpit layer?, cause it is almost impossible to see anything outside at normal visual zoom positions. I guess the levels of brightness of this layer are not subordinated to the amount and position of the light so, in most weather conditions it creates weird visual situations,.almost reduces your field of view with no reason. Full zoom in at less than 1 mile from the fires... the fog is inside the cockpit. 1 A simple Human being's Passion [YOUTUBE] [/YOUTUBE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grafspee Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 For me this is ok, since human can't turn head like track ir allow in game. Pilot is strapped to sit very tight so max he can turn head is around 90 degree, so no way that he could see tail stabilizer. So this fog is very well placed for me System specs: I7 14700KF, Gigabyte Z790 Aorus Elite, 64GB DDR4 3600MHz, Gigabyte RTX 4090,Win 11, 48" OLED LG TV + 42" LG LED monitor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching properly outside the glass is not a question of using track ir or VR or your mouse as the head axis.

Gumbie Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Lol you would be able to see stabilizer in your aircraft if you where in a fighter you can turn your head to about 80-85 degrees if not further but don't think this is what his talking about, hell even in ww1 they wear those scarfs to help keep irritation on there neck down when checking there six. Think his point is the amount of visual you can see physically Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think his point is the amount of visual you can see physically But he is referring to rear section of the canopy. You can see tail section but not with both eyes, even you manage to turn head 100-110 degree you still has only one eye vision. So forget about any details at long range, you can see if you have plane on six but you wont be able to see anything on the ground. Rear part of the canopy is the place where glass curvature changes a lot, it would create view distortion, addition to this you are looking at canopy glass at lower angle which will distort view even more. Guys who fly VR could say something how easy it to check 6 :), because with track ir is much much easier Edited September 2, 2021 by grafspee System specs: I7 14700KF, Gigabyte Z790 Aorus Elite, 64GB DDR4 3600MHz, Gigabyte RTX 4090,Win 11, 48" OLED LG TV + 42" LG LED monitor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you tell me in which part of my initial post I've refered specifically only to the rear? Pictures show the rear, also the sides. This layer is anoying in 360 degrees, but in the rear part is even more noticiable, of course, due at the front you got a flat windshield. I'm talking all time to the visual layer they've implemented to create the sensation you're inside a cockpit covered by a piece of plexiglass: that one generates too much "inside light reflection shadows" or "too much view distortion" (using your words), even can block your visual at very short distances, even the weather is overcast (Pictures attached). This layer has been recently implemented with this point of non transparency, and now Mustang have same visual issues as Spitfire had in the past. Basically I don't need another more element to add to eliminate any possibility of seeing outside the A/C beyond the Propeller... or my next complain would be "why labels size are so small?" LODs of small size like WW2 Fighters in DCS can be anoying (if not impossible to find) for any kind of spotting beyond 1 mile away. 1 hour ago, grafspee said: Guys who fly VR could say something how easy it to check 6 :), because with track ir is much much easier I still remember when the only possibility to check your surrounding views was pressing any keybind and that possibility was even "more unnatural" than any Head track device, but this is not the point here. The point is we can't see an A380 at 1.5 miles away from my 3 to 9 OC cause a "lovely" distortion enables nothing more than its own reflection.

Gumbie Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 I couldn't tell you exactly what its from it could be haze, or like blur from condensation like a car on a rainy day, again not 100% sure why this happens but I notice it doesn't happen with the air on in some Jets, I could be wrong about this also. Sorry I couldn't be more help with your inquiry maybe someone will come along with the correct response for you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Пилот пристегнут, чтобы сидеть очень плотно, так что макс, который он может повернуть голову, составляет около 90 градусов, поэтому он никак не мог видеть стабилизатор хвоста. Так что этот туман очень хорошо расположен для меня In the cockpit of the thunderbolt, there are definitely no such problems with the dimmed layer as the Mustang. How can this be explained?

The "Saved Games" folder also has a "special position", and as far as new versions of DCS are concerned, and after an update, nothing is deleted. or reset what is in the folder Edited September 28, 2021 by Hobel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In regards to the OP's post looking dead 6, this is an issue in quite a few aircraft. Last I checked it's a problem in all the FC3 aircraft and even the FA-18. Others, F-14, A-10, etc., don't have this canopy crazing. It reminds me of when I wan't as good at building model kits and used model glue on the canopies: The fumes caused irreversible fogging.
