Hey @demon702

Can you make a screenshot of what you think is "very dim"? 
Also, what's your screen resolution? Sometimes this can also be caused by monitor brightness settings.

Hey @demon702

Yes, I can see what you mean.

To be honest, I think this is more or less an acceptable brightness as is. I would a agree it's a bit faint yes, but remember this a projected graphic in the pilots visor, it's not supposed to be too bright or it could interfere with the pilots sight.

That being said, have you tried adjusting Gamma levels? I see you're using 1.8, try to increase it to 2.2 (default) and check again. Might not help but 1.8 seems a bit low (for me, at least). Of course this depends a lot on the monitor itself. But try it.

I have the exact same issue in the F/A-18 with the JHMCS being so faint. I noticed that in the training missions that are available for the module, the JHMCS projections seem much brighter/thicker green than the practice missions I've created in the ME.

If any of you are using XRToolkit there is a Sunglass option with 3 presets which helps a lot with seeing the HMD.

I am not familiar with XRToolkit. 

In the A-10 I was able to go into a lua file and adjust the color of its HUD. Is there a way to tweak JHMCS in the F/A-18?

I do think the HMD brightness when at maximum its still too dim to see on a normal sunny day. On the contrary the've made a wonderful work on the AH64 Ihadss symbology as even in sunny days you can perfectly see the data against the background.
