Anubis_94 Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 (edited) Hello, A bind to a sun visor from the helmet, or glasses, to help in such situation would be great Edited August 10, 2023 by Anubis_94 5 Squad channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Kazansky Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 +1, sure, but let me add one question (maybe people like @Sierra99 could answer): would an air refueling be done with those 2 planes flying towards the sun? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuLLeT.ZA Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Regardless of the refueling situation, there are many situations where glare is an issue. The visor in the F15E is a quality of life feature I really miss in other aircraft now. 5 Saitek X52 | 4770k@4.3GHz | MSI 1080GTX Armor OC | TrackIR 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't remember. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely agree! I fly the hornet about 90% of the time and have wanted a working visor for years. The F15E was the first time I experienced that feature and 100% agree this should absolutely be a requirement for all modern aircraft moving forward (whatever might remain). Retrofitting this back to aircraft already released (or still in EA), is something I'd like to see ED execute. 1 System Specs: Spoiler Processor:13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-13900K - RAM: 64GB - Video Card: NVIDIA RTX 4090 - Display: Pimax 8kx VR Headset - Accessories: VKB Gunfighter III MCG Ultimate, Thrustmaster TWCS (modified), Thrustmaster TPR Pedals, Simshaker JetPad, Predator HOTAS Mounts, 3D Printed Flight Button Box Thrustmaster TWCS Mod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PLUTON Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 I think exactly like Monsieurmann we need to equip DCS planes like Razbam does for the F15E and the 2000 c and that would be great. Thanks in advance 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broderbund67 Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 (edited) I think the sun blinding effect is also too strong especially in VR.

PLUTON Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 Hello to you ED team I find your new driver (F18) superb and the animations that go with it well done, especially when taking off from an aircraft carrier, plus the animation of the pilot lowering his visor and frankly super well done. What I would like and I think many people would like is when the visor lowers and we see the landscape darken like the visor of the F15E & the Mirage 2000, that would be great and I think that this shouldn't be necessary to achieve, right? Thank you for acceding to this request Gentlemen from ED 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tango3B Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 Really nice work on that helmet visor animation, ED. It actually looks pretty damn cool I have to say. The sad thing is, though that it is only an animation and you do not have an actual effect from the visor like in the F-15E or all of the Mirages. Does ED plan to add such an effect for the Hornet, too? And maybe even for the Viper? I mean it is all about the coolness factor, right? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarTzi Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 It does not have the tint effect but it dows show/ hide the HMD, so it does "work". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega1-1 Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 vor 18 Minuten schrieb BIGNEWY: Hi, we are aware, the new pilot model needs the kneeboard reactivating, the team are working on it. Hey bignewy, since you replied here, i hope you can reply to my question too. I actually asked this question few days ago, but sadly nobody did answer, so i try my luck here. Will the Helm Visor work? Since you can open/close the visor, i think it should work also like a darker filter? The hose on the helmet is there, but when you look down, the hose disappears. Will the team make the hose visible again? so when you look down, you see the hose too? Actually it was working before the second patch, and sometimes depend on how you turned the head, it was showing the hose and it was more immersive. Will be possible to write something on this new kneeboard? Like Scratchpad mod? Scratchpad (digitalcombatsimulator.com) I mean if not, what is holding the Devs from adding that? This would be the top-notch function and it would be easy and very useful. Imagine flying then JTAC read new coordinates, and you can directly write it on a page on the kneeboard. The new kneeboard is also bigger, perfect for such thing. Thank you for any answer i can get from ED. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will ask the team about your questions. 3. we have requested this functionality however it is low priority, we have to be careful to pick more pressing tasks for the team as their time is precious. 1 1 Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

Rgeno79 Posted Wednesday at 11:51 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 11:51 PM Playing DCS on the flat screen was good, and then I got into VR with my Pimax Crystal and feels like I am in the middle of the cockpit. The one issue I have is the bright sun. Sometimes I have to put my HMD to the HUD because it can be blinding. I saw where there were previous requests so I just wanted to bring this back up. This would really complete my VR experience with my new Crystal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falcon_120 Posted Thursday at 09:27 AM Share Posted Thursday at 09:27 AM A sun visor for sunny days is a must. It is really hard to see any JHMCS/HUD symbology on a sunny day. Either we have a visor or a way to tweak the contrast/colour of the JHMCS/HUD a bit more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven (Elysian Angel) Posted Thursday at 11:12 AM Share Posted Thursday at 11:12 AM Personally I lower the gamma by 5 stops when I fly ED modules during the day. At night I have to raise it again. With RAZBAM modules there’s no need to do that. That being said, this is the wrong section of the forum to post this.

kotor633 Posted Thursday at 06:26 PM Share Posted Thursday at 06:26 PM Hi, Is it just me or does the visor on the FA-18C not work (yet)? Because when I activate the visor I don't notice any difference. ************************************** DCS World needs the Panavia Tornado!

fortheiy12 Posted Thursday at 06:51 PM Share Posted Thursday at 06:51 PM The visor toggle only effects the HMD visibility. Kinda like a on off button for the HMD.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dos Posted Thursday at 09:09 PM Share Posted Thursday at 09:09 PM I believe it is only when you look at the pilot from outside (F2). The pilot will put the visor down and up and you see it, take a look. Now that you mention it is it suppose to make a difference to our HUD view like tint the view some?

For example, with the F-15E/ Mirage F1 the view is darkened somewhat and the sun no longer blinds you as much. Surely that should be the main function of the helmet visor? Or am I misunderstanding something? ************************************** DCS World needs the Panavia Tornado!
