ZaltysZ Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 I get missnig canopy reflections with 1.1.1.0, but only when looking at forward hemisphere. If I turn my head back, they reappear; if turn by head to look forward, they disappear. It seems 3h and 9h is the barrier passing which reflections appear/disappear. It is very noticeable, because perceived brightness of scene suddenly changes once camera passes mentioned positions. I have Win7 x64, NVIDIA GTX470 with 285.58 driver. Wir sehen uns in Walhalla.
Nate--IRL-- Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 Yeah it's known. I must try to find out how to remove the refection altogether, in lieu of a fix. Nate Ka-50 AutoPilot/stabilisation system description and operation by IvanK- Essential Reading
Warthogger Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 Canopy reflections almost all gone with 1.10 Wow, just wow. I thought DCS had finally gotten canopy reflections right with 1.09, but now they've reversed course and almost completely done away with glass reflection with 1.10. Sorry, this sucks big time. Completely gone are front windscreen reflections, and in place of such are now the tinted side front screens. Sucks. The total immersion feeling I had in the 1.09 cockpit with the tuned windscreen reflections is gone. 1.10 looks more like an 1980's sim now in this regard. No HUD glass effect like in BC2, just a projection through clear "air". When I first loaded up 1.10, I thought I'd left the canopy open and had to double check it was closed. The loss of effect is that bad. 1.10 is taking two steps forward and one step back visually. I'll be going back to 1.09 now in short order. :mad:

Warthogger Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 It hasn't been done away with, it's a bug. Nate Nate, could you please elaborate? Are you saying that my installation is buggy or that the 1.10 patch introduced a new bug? Thanks -
Eddie Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 It's a bug that wasn't fixed in time for 1.1.1.0.

You boys can keep your 1.1.1.0 patch and it's new bug(s). :cry: A long time ago in a land, far, far away, software developers actually beta tested their software before release so that things like this wouldn't happen when the end-user installed on their computer. I mean, the idea of patching software is to generally improve it, not render it something less useful. Oh well, thanks DCS for wasting my time downloading and installing the patch, along with having to reinstall 1.09 now. Yippee. :pilotfly: 1

oho Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 will it be fixed with a hotfix soon. I think I'll wait with installing until then. I love the shadows too.

Warthogger Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 Please tell me this is a joke I am not getting. :noexpression: 1.1.1.0 patch = almost no canopy reflections now due to a bug that wasn't fixed before the patch was released. I rather dislike flying around with an 'open canopy effect; therefore, I personally am going to go back to 1.09 and I have to now reinstall everything to do so. :joystick: It sucks to be me in other words, lol. Also, Nate politely thanked me for my disgruntled sarcasm, lol. Any more questions?

Sn8ke Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 Would there be the possibility of a hotfix? The cockpit reflection effect really added to the immersion factor, and it would suck do go without it.

Warthogger Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 :huh: Of course it will be fixed. It should have never been broken in the first place. 1.09 had really nice and realistic canopy reflection effects, and in fact this detail was a touted feature of the 1.09 patch. 1.1.1.0 essentially breaks the reflection feature, or at least messes up the effect so completely that it's more annoying than anything else. One must assume that DCS will take months to fix this now, that is assuming another patch will even be produced in the future. I won't beat the issue to death on here, but I certainly have no interest in investing in another DCS product like BS2 until they get their act together.
