Very dark around sunrise/sunset

..that is when your not looking directly at the sun.

 

For example, the first UN campaign mission, you fly west into the sunset. I thought it'd be a good idea to land with the sun behind me but when I turned 180 and was facing east everything went pitch black, couldn't see a thing!

 

In the second UN campaign mission, while flying up the valley, I found I was having to look 45 degrees to the right, so that I was looking at the sun enough to illuminate the terrain, see these screenshots:

 

Looking ahead - dark

 

Looking slightly to the right - can see the terrain!

 

HDR was set to normal, ATi 6970 with 13.4 drivers.

 

Is this how the missions were designed? or am I looking at a bug with DCS World?

The "dark" pic shows just fine on my screen. And I haven't had problems with those missions. I actually enjoy dusk/dawn flights in DCS. Maybe your screen is set a bit too dark?

Thanks, thought it was only me having this issue due to no other posts about it.

 

Remember having to increase the brightness of Team Fortress 2 in game after I installed the 13.4 drivers, maybe my solution is to increase brightness in the catalyst control panel.

 

Wish for EDGE: in game brightness setting!
