Sun visor

[Raffi75]

I noticed one thing: the sun visor inside the cabin is transparent. The view from the outside is correct. Can anyone tell me which file is responsible for this element inside the cabin? I wanted to see if it's possible to achieve the same effect as in, for example, the OH-58 Kiowa.

This is by design. None of the ED modules have a working sunvisor despite several of their modules having one IRL by default (F-16 and -18, but several levels of tint are available for RL helmets apparently). The later modules all have working animations for raising/lowering the visor without it having any effect.
The community has been asking for this for over 8 years now, and ED has always ignored such requests, locked the threads or moved them to a different part of the forum.

Now things are changing: the upcoming MiG-29 will have a working visor, and ED have hinted at the technology being ported over to their other modules. This is what they said as a reply to my question on FB for example:

I am very curious whether and when they would be willing to implement this.

Two weeks mister, two weeks.

Nice found, btw. MiG-29A FF maybe will have sunvisor but now (in the latest promo video from near 2 months ago) its only animation, no any „darker” effect. Maybe at release they will finish it, who knows?

As I said, the MiG-29 9.12A will be the first ED module to have working visors. You can see this for yourself on the footage taken at latest Flight Sim Expo. It's also been confirmed by ED.

Correct. It worked here (however no hand animation like video before). WiP perhaps still.

Okay, gentlemen and lady. We're talking about future plans here, and all we can do now is wait and hope that this will also be implemented in older DLCs. The question remains: has anyone tried messing with the appropriate image file and if so, did it yield any results? Is simply replacing the file sufficient, or do I need to make some changes to the .lua file? I wish I could make this modification for myself.

Its not only the file. File and programming is absent.

People had 8 years to figure that out, if it was possible at all. I doubt it's that easy, or we'd have it already.

Fixed it for you.

[Raffi75]

I understand. Now I just have to wait for the ED to implement the amendment. I wonder if I'll live to see it.

@Raven (Elysian Angel) Corrected.
