Rolds Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 (edited) On 2.7.11.22211 Aircraft interiors and exteriors have become very bright at night time, making it hard to see out of the cockpit. Mig21 seems most affected. Moon phase doesn't affect this. It is like there is a lighbox effect causing the aircraft to self illuminate at night or something, not sure exactly how to describe it. A friend flying mig21 in multiplayer reported the same effects. Edited April 14, 2022 by Rolds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolds Posted April 15, 2022 Author Share Posted April 15, 2022 Deleting FXO, metashaders, and running a repair has corrected the problem. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolds Posted April 20, 2022 Author Share Posted April 20, 2022 (edited) Repair, FXO, metashader routine did not fix the issue long term. The mig21 cockpit is glowing again in another session. Edited April 20, 2022 by Rolds grammar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flappie Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 No such issue on my end. Are you guys using a shader mod? Don't accept indie game testing requests from friends in Discord. Ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolds Posted April 21, 2022 Author Share Posted April 21, 2022 (edited) Whoever marked this as solved, it is not solved! I was able to reproduce the problem. I fixed the issue with deleting metashader and FXO files (again), then flew a night misison in the Mig21. Texture was fine. Then I flew a quick day misison. Day texture looked a little weird to me. Then I went back to a night mission and the cockpit is glowing in the dark again. Closing DCS, uninstalling FXO and metashader, then reopening DCS appears to solve the issue without running a repair. Also when the problem occurs it also seems to make water glow as you can see in this screenshot from Bandar Abbas looking south.

Flappie Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 It is I that asked for the "solved" tag because you said it was solved yourself. Here: Now that you showed me what the world looked like, I can tell you it's a known bug. It's reported and we are waiting for a fix. 1 Don't accept indie game testing requests from friends in Discord. Ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art-J Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 (edited) @Rolds The cockpit part might be MiG-21-specific, so you might be better off reporting in their part of the forum. Have you tested if it happens in other planes as well? I seem to recall MiG's pit was never 100% converted to be PBR compatible, so various lighting and shading issues in latest DCS versions are a given, unfortunately. We know from Rudel's posts made last summer that full cockpit rework was planned, but with their hands on deck for F4U module, apart from new gunsight we got there's no ETA given for the rest of that rework.

Rolds Posted April 22, 2022 Author Share Posted April 22, 2022 I sometimes get similar effects in other planes but not as pronounced as in the mig21 @Art-J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Photon Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 I've had this as well in the AH64 in the latest patch. Restarting the game always fixes it for me at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
