davidrbarnette Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Just got back in to the Harrier module after flying F-15E and Apache for a bit, and I'm not sure what changed, but the MFDs are so dark when trying to use the TPOD that I have to click the gain button up about 30 times just to be able to make out anything. I'm using VR (Reverb G2) without any mods or anything like that. Gamma is set to 2.0, and I don't have brightness problems in any other module.

Makes using MFDs at night a pain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunnar81 Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 I just posted a bug report about this for the Harrier. It appears the default setting is too dark but it can be corrected using the Contrast and Gain setting. This is for the Harrier only as I have only tested that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll give it a try this evening. Thanks for the heads-up! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gulredrel Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Haven't checked enough yet, but setting the default gain higher so that it works for DMT or TPOD, it's too much for the EHSD. This it at least my feeling being on 2D flat screen. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DD_Friar Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 (edited) I found this post as I was going to ask the same question is anyone else finding the TPOD display difficult to view. No matter what I try with gain etc I am not able to identify targets. I am using a flat screen by the way, not VR. Edited September 26, 2023 by DD_Friar 1 Visit the Dangerdogz at www.dangerdogz.com.

Gunnar81 Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 I believe the issue is the MFD themselves not the settings of the TPOD. If you adjust the gain/constrast on the MFD you should see better results. Also, in the game options, under the 'special' tab you'll see there are default brightness settings for the MFD's, you can tinker with those as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aernov Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 (edited) You can get very much readable TPod and DMT TV picture (probably, even too readable compared to reality) with MFD gain/contrast manipulation (on flatscreen. No idea about VR or MFD export). Current special options default gain/contrast setting is slightly too bright for EHSD moving map and slightly too dark for TPod/TV use, so it still require some adjustment in cockpit.

DD_Friar Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 Salute After further investigations I have found the the answer to this problem for me was to delete the fxo and metashaders2 folders. I can now turn the gain up and have been able to VERY clearly see zoom in and see target from 30 miles away. Now if I could only get the Mavericks to fire when I get closer but that is a whole other quest for me. But if you have a dark TPOD delete those two folders before starting the game (the game re-creates them) and it will be like night and day for you. 2 Visit the Dangerdogz at www.dangerdogz.com.

Delta-canard Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 (edited) Thanks for the advice, I stumbled in the same issue as I was going through the training and couldn't see a thing through the pod (in vr, Reverb G2) Edited September 30, 2023 by Delta-canard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
