Thanatos31 Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 (edited) LHA Tarawa lighting is extremely bright Runway "green" lights are illuminating the carrier not only to very unrealistic levels, but also causing a tremendous FPS / performance impacts. Performance during day & night a clearly different and caused by lighting. Requesting a review of lighting levels ( could be easy fix as dimming it down) to make it: a) more performant b) more realistic. c) closer in line with the "dark" lighting mood on other carrier assets. Realistic examples: (same video- different time stamps! ) Edited October 27, 2022 by Thanatos31 1 Come fly with us : https://discord.gg/tawdcs TAW CJTF 13 - EU TZ MilSim Squadron Ryzen 5 5600X | 32GB DDR4 3733| ASUS Radeon RX 6700 XT | ASrock B550 Phantom Gaming 4 | HP Reverb G2 | Thrustmaster Warthog Throttle , F16 & F18 grips , TFRP Rudders | Win 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flappie Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 In these videos, the deck is pitch-black which can't be used as a reference for DCS. The lights shown in DCS are these: Let's compare them with the real things:, when they are on: we can clearly see there are way too many green lights, and the blue light was replaced with a yellowish one.

Thanatos31 Posted November 10, 2022 Author Share Posted November 10, 2022 (edited) Thank you @Flappie- one note though I need you to consider on your reference pictures, the intensity of light due to exposure used by the photographer, is off by a lot and does not reflect reality seen by the human eye and I assume this was also the reason the lights were so bright from the get go. the pictures referenced are shot with lense settings that allow for a lot of exposure / a lot of light to come through the camera to make them brighter, more vibrant and as you see, the lights create “traces”. this is absolutely not realistic and shows, again, a waaaay to bright setting. if you e Google LHA night ops, 95% of results will be with Night over exposure, as otherwise the pictures would be to dark and bland to publish from the photographer. also, compare it to what the CVN light levels are like, yes the LHA has more lights on during rotary recoveries, and that’s fine, but overall it is too much and too bright on top of all that, look at pictures and videos under NVGs, if the LHA had “our” light levels, everyone would be blind/tubes blown out a little bit exaggerated I know the below gives a sense of how little light is used in reality: https://www.dvidshub.net/image/6798193/uss-america-lha-6-conducts-flight-operations-night btw, I think the greenish light is accurate for Tarawa class LHAs can you please confirm that my explanation made sense to you (I’m not an English native) ?

Flappie Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 You are absolutely right. I'll add your remarks about the green lights intensity. In the meantime, I studied many pictures of Tarawa class ships to determine the number and the location of these lights. This is now in RAZBAM's hands. 4 Don't accept indie game testing requests from friends in Discord. Ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flappie Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Happy New Year. I'd say 3 months is the minimum for this issue. See you in one month. 2 Don't accept indie game testing requests from friends in Discord. Ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
