Spectrum48k Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Looking through VR, once an F18 is more than 50 meters away with lights on it looks like something from close encounters of the third kind. Is there a way I can fix this? Lights are way too bright.

twistking Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 well at least the lights are visible for more than a mile and therefore actually work for their intended usecase: make the aircraft be seen at night. hornet's lights are visible (and well visible) for 10nm which is still not enough, but at least usable (i think 20nm -25nm would be great!). other aircraft's lights are visible for only about 1nm and get extremely dim after only some hundred feet... making them unusable for anything but close formation flying. i do agree however that the hornet's lights don't look particularly good aesthetically. i have the hope that the hornet is kind of a testbed for better aircraft lights, because it obviously uses a different technique for the lights at distance. far from perfect, but hopefully just a first step. as a workaround you can tell your wingman to only use formation lights and beacon light and/or put nav lights on very dim only. 1 My personal wishlist after half a decade with DCS: https://forum.dcs.world/topic/184968-my-personal-wishlist-after-half-a-decade-with-dcs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
