Viewport export brightness problem

[Gorn557]

Hello all:

Not sure if this is a bug per se but it's definitely a usability issue. When I export my viewports for the F-14 VDI and HSD to another monitor, they are ridiculously dark, to the point of being unusable. The VDI only "shows the green lines" (I can't see the trapezoids in the normal mode, or anything except the "crosshairs" in TV mode) and the HSD is almost invisible when I put it in TID mode. I've reproduced this independently of whether I'm using Helios or not, and with a couple of different secondary monitors. The nav mode on the HSD actually looks fine, for some odd reason. I think it's an issue with how the viewports are being exported. Other content displays normally on the supplementary monitors so it's not their brightness. I saw some people had this problem on a thread about 18 months ago but there was no follow-up. Has anyone else tried exporting their viewports to another screen and had (or not had) this issue? 

Attaching my export lua file for reference. My configuration is a 3840x2160 monitor with two supplementary 1024x768 monitors to which I'm exporting the MFDs.

Edit: upon further review this appears to be a broader DCS problem. I was able to compensate for it to some extent by following the reshade instructions here.
