Frederf Posted June 9, 2010 Posted June 9, 2010 I'm trying to fix some buggy bits with the clickable cockpit, knobs, switches, HUD, etc. I managed to add a gain value to the HUD brightness knob such that much more intermediary brightness levels are available. Still there is a big jump between invisible and the minimum brightness level possible. With gain = 0.1 I'm getting several stages of invisible HUD and then the next increase makes the HUD pattern pop up at a substantial minimum brightness. Anyone know where the brightness threshold value is located? Also I still have the problem where the initial brightness setting for the HUD on mission start is always 100% (255.0) but the knob itself initializes at minimum! This means that rolling the knob in the increase direction changes the HUD brightness 100%->10%->20%...etc. Booo!!! Ideally I want to set the initial brightness of the HUD and the initial position of the HUD brightness switch to the same value. I think the best value would be for both to be 50%, but 100% is a good second place. Failing that I think I'd even like them both to start off at 0%... so long as they match! If I could get reaaaaallly fancy I would have them both start at a "flight ready" level if starting from a hot start and a 0% level from a cold start. Oh why not add in a night/day setting conditional switch for "flight ready" based on local time :P Same problem as above but with the IT-23 / Shkval TV screen contrast knob. The initial contrast value on mission initialize is some nice value but the starting position of the knob is 0%. BOoooooo!!!! Other changes I want to do: More spikey, less smooth HUD value updates and overall refresh. Watch this video ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g99_sUT-dvY ) and compare it to DCS:BS. We have muuuuuch too smooth data. Adjustable brightness controls working in the cockpit. How does DCS accomplish lighting dimming? I want to enable all of the little dimmer knobs like on the PVI panel, overhead panel, rear aux panel, instruments, ADIs, etc. Reverse the ADF TLF/TG functions since the telephone setting gives telegraph behavior and the telegraph setting gives telephone behavior.
