Exagerated HUD font size, viewed from RIO backseat [NO BUG]


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Hello,

Would like to call your attention for the issue mentioned in the title:

- the pilot's HUD symbols font size (dimensions) are too big, when viewed from the RIO's backseat - as shown in the blue ellipse at the picture attached.

 

Is it possible to correct this ?

Thank you.

Correct as is. That is how HUD works and it's not for the RIO to look at.

Neither did I say it is for the RIO to look at.

Really ?

So in real life, as one is getting away from the HUD, the symbols are getting magnified ?

 

I do find that hard to believe.

It is how it works. Here is an example:

You can see the same effect as in your pic. The camera is way back looking over the shoulder and you see a big number on the HUD. Then a bit later you also see the camera going closer/further away and the effect that follows.

Actually the symbols don't seem to change size since their focal point is perceived at infinity but when the glass is further away so the symbols seem to be bigger compared to the glass.

Thank you all for your insight on this, but (not in front of my gamming PC now) if I recal correctly:

- at the Pilot's front seat the "visual effect" you are mentioning, doesn't happen while zooming in or out ...

Zooming in or out is not the same as moving your head forth and back. But the effect happens just the same, just to a lesser degree.

It does if you have VR or a head tracker and physically move your head closer or farther away from the HUD. Zooming in and out is just the DCS version of "CSI enhance".
