Seems much better.  I can see the battery switch, etc. now even in overcast weather.

Much better. It's always going to be dark, being black of course, but everything stands out as much as one would expect. Good job.

[HiWeee]

I didn't see any difference from previous version in VR mode.

It's still dark. 

 

Still can't make videos or streams...

What is your ingame gamma set to?

In my perception, it is better. It‘s still a dark cockpit and depending on daylight and shadows sometimes hard to see switches in certain places. But in comparison it‘s become a lot better.

Hmm, that’s reasonable.

The industry standard calibrated gamma is 2.2, to calibrate the screen you can use reference images and tables, like: http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/

P.S. Anyway DCS uses hollywood nights and have a gamma value mess for different rendered layers; DCS needs a good director of photography

Yes, I said „reasonable“, not „Perfect“.

Also, it is true that we don‘t know how exactly this setting translates to the effective gamma and that we need to take into account the monitor settings.

What I meant is, that 2.2 is not too far off the default setting and probably not enough to completely mess up the picture.

Anyway - ceteris paribus, there is a noticeable improvement with the latest patch (in pancake). If it is sufficient is a matter of personal taste/perception.

On all other modules - everything is fine (with dark cockpits).

Problem in F1...

 

I wish it was even lighter.

 

Sorry for my English

Then you should consider using MYSE1234 superb cockpit livery:

Thanks. But in RedKite video on YouTube - cockpit is not dark…

Without mods.

Sure. But hardly any difference.

The industry and gaming standard is 2.2. DCS is also 2.2.

The difference is very small. On Ka-50, Mirage 2000 and other - there is no such problem (cabins are readable)

I should probably calibratemy screen. Night should be pitch black, and if I turn up from 1.6, night becomes dusk.

Pretty nice, I don't have any complains rn, Gamma at 2.0 and looks usable at any time of the day, still the issue of the sun that has a big white circle around it sadly...

Yes, but this is a bug introduced on DCS 2.x when they added the new lighting; if you dislike it open a bug report to ED, but it's irrealistic to think that a dirty workarround (gamma below 2.2) must to be followed by users and developers.

P.S. I understand you, I opened a bug report about that some years ago, but sadly zero response.

Oh, that I didn't know. Thanks!

You can use this website to calibrate your monitor or TV. I highly recommend.

With the 2.8 patch, the cockpit darkness issue is completely solved for me. Looks perfect now. I can see the battery switch e.g. easily! Well done!

@WaffenCat , @HiWeee What's your say?
