Request to ED - Sun visor

[jack333]

I would like to make a request to ED and that is that when we fly with the sun against us we can put on a kind of visor that darkens the screen a bit to be able to distinguish the numbers on the HUD. Thank´s

Nice suggestion.  The smoke visor would be great in the Apache as well for seeing the images in the IHADS clearer too in certain situations.

The M-2000C has a sun visor. Not sure if that’s the only module with one.

The MiG-21 does but it doesn't work in vr

Just listened to a pod cast on the Rotary Wing Show Episode 108 about a British pilot who had a flare from a Chinook he was escorting go through his window and burn him.

Ironically his mission was due to start in the later part of darkness and he knew that when he arrived on site it would be daylight and he would not need his night vision glasses. He made the call to his ground crew who had to un bolt the night vision stuff to put on a visor.

This call saved his face as the flair scraped off the visor.

The point to my story is that I don't think the Apache pilot can have a flip down sun visor like fast jet pilots due to the IHADS monocle? 

Although the ground I am standing on could be a bit shakey and happy to be proved wrong with contra evidence.

Salute

PS Whilst looking for the same thing I found that there are slidable screens on the left and right of the dashboard to shade the MFD's (no default key binding)
