2.5 Cockpit is too dark?


Recommended Posts

I have some several modules and i think that mi-8's cockpit is too dark.

it is very hard to see gauges even during the day time. i always have to turn gauges light and sometimes even dome lights

With global illumination on, the cockpit can get a bit hard to read in places, but I don't really find it bothersome. Maybe I'm just so used to reading the instruments at a glance.

 

The Ka-50 has a worse time there. The autopilot channels get *darker* then they light up! Go figure..

I had trouble with the cockpit illumination as well. I always turn on the Left Cockpit light regardless of the weather or Sun when I'm starting up the Mi8. Once started I have both the left and right cockpit lights on just to see better.

You can activate a hand touch. L Alt + L, I think. I'll double check. Not the best light source ever, but something.

Don't forget that you can use the gamma slider to brighten up your cockpit, albeit at the expense of washing out the external view.

i am using 2.0 gamma and i don't wanna raise it because in that case, whole world shines too much.

it's interesting becasuse i don't have such problem with fc3 modules or a-10c or uh1.

even gauge lights can't light the numbers properly.

 

other weird thing is, landing light illuminate the whole cockpit like a flashbang

You will see the anticollision light reflected in both the Mi-8 and the Ka-50. It's a modeling issue, should be easily fixed.
