reported Flashlight seems quite off

[sergkar]

Hej there,

I tried to use the flashlight, but nothing at all happened. Then I realised that it's showing something, that seems like a zoomed in version of some console outside of my right cockpit side. That really looks like a very nasty bug. See screenshot:

That seems to be the baked in reflections on the canopy.

Though the way the reflection appears should not happen. But then again, we have now better canopy reflections in DCS, but because this module has been on hold / abandoned, they didn't port the technology in this module yet.

Might seem so, but my point of concern was, that the left console was not illuminated at all.

No, but that's the point - this 'baked in' technology (fixed textures applied as 'reflections' on reflective materials like the canopy) doesn't work very well at all in night lighting conditions when illuminated with the flashlight, and other cockpit lights. Other modules (like the F16 and F18 for example) have the option under 'Special' to simply turn those reflections off, other modules use newer tech to not do that (Hind for example). The Yak, L39 etc would greatly benefit with options to turn them off.

Reported, thanks!
