requested Helmet Sun Visor Question?

[Anubis_94]

Hello,

 

A bind to a sun visor from the helmet, or glasses, to help in such situation would be great

+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?

Excellent question!

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.

I believe you. The Mirage 2000 has it. Harrier? 

I'm sure there are at least two more. C-101/MB-339/Mirage F1? Don't remember.

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.

@BIGNEWY would this be possible with the relewase of the new F-18 pilot helmet texture?

[PLUTON]

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

I think the sun blinding effect is also too strong especially in VR. This should be more like this:

For those of you that use the open xr toolkit. In the appearance tab and I believe under post processing. There is the option for sunglasses with 3 different selections light, dark, true night That does a pretty good job of taking the edge off of the glare Plus you can tweak the colors to make the outside world look a little better

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

[Tango3B]

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?

[BarTzi]

It does not have the tint effect but it dows show/ hide the HMD, so it does "work".

[BIGNEWY]

Hi, 

I split your post from the other thread so we dont derail it. 

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.

Thanks I see that, but the problem is that its awkward to enable, an actual visor would be far far better.

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.

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.

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.

 

Have a look here instead:

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.

[fortheiy12]

The visor toggle only effects the HMD visibility. Kinda like a on off button for the HMD.

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?

Correctly. 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?

Wish every module had a visor like Razbam's jets.

[tmansteve]

Was flying into the sun chasing a fighter and remembered the visor. I activated it and found that it does nothing. I was still blinded by the sun. I checked outside and watched the visor animation. So is it bugged or does it not work? Any info wo9uld be great. If its not going to work, pointless having it.

Cheers
