unclesneep Posted March 11 Posted March 11 (edited) I only play in vr.. and at times .. not all the time, the nights are EXTREMELY dark to the point where the game is unplayable. There is no rhyme or reason as to when this happens.. it can be fine in one mission, but impact another, even on mp servers. When it's happening it looks like the lighting bloom level inside the cockpit is set to burn your eyes out mode.. I can see the displays and everything inside the cockpit, but the reflections from the glass inside the cockpit are horrible and it's pitch black outside.. no lights can be seen from city lights or stars.. even the moon is gone. If taking off from a fully lit carrier tou can only see it's lights if you are very close to it.. otherwise you can't see ANYTHING. Switching to f2 external view it looks similar.. no stars, no city lights etc.. like there's a pitch black cloud obscuring the view. this hasn't happened often.. but when it dies it's extremely frustrating.. especially after I purchased the fear the bones campaign and can't get past the first mission due to this. I tried starting the mission without vr and noticed that everything was very dark as well. Turning up the gamma from 2.2 to max just washes everything out, turning the pitch black background..with invisible stars and city lights grey instead. Heres what it looks like in 2d.. external views.. in vr its even worse.. as everything outside the cockpit is just pure black. Edited March 11 by unclesneep

Can I ask the date of the mission and the moon state? thank you This is Fear the Bones Mission 1 null I actually got a reply to the ticket i opened: Hello. I talked to the testers. They said that this is an old and well-known bug. It will be fixed, but I am not ready to write you any timeframe Best regards and many happy landings ! MotorEAST Eagle Dynamics IT Team I looked back to try to find similar issues.. and apparently this has been going on for years Its not really a huge deal when viewing externally.. but in VR its completely unplayable due to the outside of the cockpit being pitch black. not being able to play even the first mission of a purchased campaign is quite annoying. Here is a video of the track file that I just posted.. dcs.log Light source issues.trk
unclesneep Posted March 11 Author Posted March 11 I just on a whim went into the mission and changed the date so that there is moonlight..no graphical issues.
ED Team BIGNEWY Posted March 11 ED Team Posted March 11 I thought the issues had been addressed and many have, but it does seem we have some moon reports still open. I will chase them up internally. thank you 1 Forum rules - DCS Crashing?
