Pavlin_33 Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 U fly mostly Soviet/Russian jets and they have a HUD dimmer that blocks out the Sun, but a JF-17 for example doesn't so facing the Sun the HUD is useless. I was wondering, how to RL pilots deal with this? Or is it like in DCS where the Sun is the ultimate obstacle? i5-4690K CPU 3.50Ghz @ 4.10GHz; 32GB DDR3 1600MHz; GeForce GTX 1660 Super; LG IPS225@1920x1080; Samsung SSD 860 EVO 1TB; Windows 10 Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bimbac Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 The pilots wear dark helmet visors, which are not implemented in DCS now. If the HUD becomes unreadable, the HUD Repeater function on the MFDs is for that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F-15E has a functioning Visor. Im missing that dearly in every other module I fly. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In real life you would just shade them by hand but that's currently not possible in dcs. Something like inverse flashlight would do the job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebphoto Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 I always used my sunglasses or my visor if I had to. Sometimes putting my hand up to block the sun works too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qcumber Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 OXRTK has two sunglasses settings. It would be handy to have a keybind toggle for these. 1 5800x3d: rtx4070: 64Gb 3200: 1Tb NVME: Pico 4: Rift S: Quest Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aronis Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 They get their canopy tinted by the local garage. As long as the State Troopers don't catch you, you can tint the windows quite dark. Makes it a pain for the other drivers to see your head position, but screw them, I just hit them with Chaff if they beep at me in traffic.
