Warning lamps unreadable

Recommended Posts

Originally in DCS, all warning lamps looked like this:

 

attachment.php?attachmentid=199804&stc=1&d=1544811831

 

After PBR update they look like below, you can barely see what's written on them unless really zoomed in, as the whole "artistic light effect" washes them out.

 

attachment.php?attachmentid=199805&stc=1&d=1544811831

 

 

That's how they looked in real life (sorry, couldn't find any better quality):

Thanks, these are nice, unfortunately I fly with Russian cockpit. Anyway, I would prefer devs fix their bugs, instead of relying on community to do their job.

It's not a bug. That's how the some of real lights look, light gray.

I don't know why they are different in reality some examples being of the other style. In this video you can see multiple types in the same cockpit cm apart

 

And here is video with more gray type

This the same video. The reason it looks darker is because it is shadowed in a shield. When the lens is seen illuminated by the sun in the corner you see it is also gray type.

 

Readability is made worse that the "light blob" behind the letters is allowed through too much. Contrast around letters seems much better in reality and light is prevented from passing shield around inscription almost completely. Font is smaller than reality perhaps.

 

And if memory is correct there is an issue with English pit that Russian letters are still visible in one of the art layers related to the warning lights.

I'm not complaining about them being gray when off, I'm complaining that they are completely washed out with color when on.

 

Which is not how they look in real life even on the movie you posted. (

).
