[Alex_buka]

Hi, after last update when i open 2d popup brightness in DCS goes down. Here is examples:

Hey NS430 forum,

 

I wanted to make this post but I see I'm not the only one. I recently bought the NS430 on sale (like 4 days ago) and my whole game gets darker when I open up the NS430. The darkness doesn't disappear when I close it again and can't be fixed to normal by upping the gamma slider in the options. I hope someone is aware or someone knows how to fix this... This is quite a problem and the mod isn't usable this way.

Same here.

 

[Dustoff]

I have the same problem. 
 

I also noticed it appears to be worse in the Syria map than Caucasus as an example. 

[Torattacker]

Same problem!

[Breakshot]

Yep, same story here. Something broke the lighting with NS430.

Hi I just tried using the 430 with the SU25T during a night mission. It seemed to randomly dim the HUD and interior lights along with the NS430 itself when open. Anyone else see something similar?

You are not alone ......

[medway]

Thanks for confirming.

[Antiguedad]

Same here, I hope it gets reported and solved soon. This bug makes this mod completely useless.

Also happens when just exporting the NS430 display.

Same here, no problem in L-39 with 3D model

It is not possible to fly at night with the 2d window on. There is complete darkness. There are no problems when using the 3D model in the L-39 and Mi-8. However, without the turned on the 2d window, it became very troublesome and even impossible to fly at night.

[Scott-S6]

3D model fine.

Exported display in 3D model aircraft fine.

Popup display in other aircraft - immediately dark when summoning popup.

This issue was reported  internally back in December. No news so far.

Any news?

[Flappie]

No news to share at the moment, but the issue is not being ignored.

Come to add me a me too.

Wasn't sure what had caused it but it all makes sense now.

 

@Scott-S6 - Haven't found any info on exporting the 430, are you able to share what you know?

Like this?

Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Config\MonitorSetup\1Camera.lua

_  = function(p) return p; end;
name = _('1 Screen');
Description = 'One monitor configuration'
Viewports =
{
     Center =
     {
          x = 0;
          y = 0;
          width = screen.width;
          height = screen.height;
          viewDx = 0;
          viewDy = 0;
          aspect = screen.aspect;
     }
}

NS430_DISPLAY =
{
     x = screen.width - 443;
     y = screen.height - 185;
     width = 448;
     height = 185;
}

GU_MAIN_VIEWPORT = Viewports.Center

Or like this?

_  = function(p) return p; end;
name = _('1 Screen');
Description = 'One monitor configuration'
Viewports =
{
     Center =
     {
          x = 0;
          y = 0;
          width = screen.width;
          height = screen.height;
          viewDx = 0;
          viewDy = 0;
          aspect = screen.aspect;
     },

NS430_DISPLAY =
{
     x = screen.width - 443;
     y = screen.height - 185;
     width = 448;
     height = 185;
}
}

GU_MAIN_VIEWPORT = Viewports.Center

Neither the position nor the size changed. The darkening symptom is also intact.

It may be somewhat challenging for me.

Still without any new news?

[Flappie]

I've just bumped the report.

[Breakshot]

When will this be fixed, also in 2.8, NS430 overlay causes HUUGE loss of FPS.

Guys, for a paid addon from ED shop this thing just doesnt work at all properly anymore.... Fix it or remove this product from the ED store!

[Generio]

I've been having this issue for some time now, and has gotten even worse with 2.8. Good to know I'm not alone in my struggles. This needs to be fixed as it has been a problem for nearly a year now.
