fixed internally night downwash on sand illuminated

[comcat]

When operating at night from lets say an invisible FARP, the downwash/ brown out/ dust cloud seems illuminated and glowing. it was pitch dark.

no light sources to illuminate the dust.

see attached picture,

This is common across all the DCS helicopters and has been known for some time (6+ months).  I'm not sure if it's tracked as "reported" anywhere on the forums but I beleive it is.

Dust glowing at night is fixed internally already, not specific to the AH-64D though.

If you give me a track of your experience I can make sure this fix actually solves your issue.

Ok, just tested, I didnt see anything like your screenshot so we must be all good. I am not sure if that will hit the hot fix or the next update, but it is addressed. Thanks!

This problem has been here for way more than 6 months. I would rather count in years. Very useful when you loose your wingman in a pitch dark night as you can see his downwash miles and miles away, but yes, a complete immersion breaker indeed. Plus NVGs don't like glowing dust., making brownout disorientation even worse. 

So happy that the AH-64 module is finally bringing all those old bugs on top of ED's todo list!
