I think pages are too dim

The initial MFDs brightness when a mission starts in either dusk or dawn is too low. After adjusting it, when you switch to other pages of the same MFD, the brightness adjustment is not kept and resets back to default (dark).

Indeed.... This is rather annoying.

In any case it is too dimm

Brightness and other values are stored independently for each video format (FCR, WPN, TGP) and for all text formats.

If this is not the case, could you provide a track?

 

Thanks!

Does that mean that on the same MFD, different pages have different brightness levels?

Wait a second, who changed the title of this thread and why?

Yes, it seems so. You have to adjust them separately.

Yes, that's exactly how it works. You can adjust the brightness for each page individually.

Each page is adjusted separately however what i would say is that in VR they all appear to start to dim.

The initial brightness depends on the time of day when spawning. If you spawn in in the early morning, the pages can be set pretty dim initially and you need to increase the brightness as the sun moves up.

Is this how it is on the actual plane? Found it quite annoying the increase the brightness of every page individually...

I would think that there are some function that measures the brightness and automatically adjust the brightness to maintain the wanted level.

Or then there must be a way to automatically adjust all pages brightness same time, unless you adjust individual pages brightness relative to some master page brightness or something (main menu or so).

As only idiot would design a screen brightness adjustment system for a device that is used in variable brightness environments and then require a user to manually adjust each and every possible screen (page) separately from all others depending the brightness level that happens to be at that moment....

The real manual writes about first tasks in the cockpit when starting up the aircraft, to set the displays brightness, contrast and gain in proper order for a good readability.

But now the problem is that by ED default automatic brightness adjustments it is set too low for the mission time brightness, and should be automatically be set brighter.

I guess you probably don't want to have the Maverick/WPN, TGP and HSD page at the same brightness level, as their video output is rather different, at least IRL.

The OP does not state issue is when in VR but will assume so. When adjustability in the F16 finally became possible i did not personally find any benefit since it did not seem to allow greater brightness which was needed. It just made reduction possible and in VR for many that is wrong direction.

I run into this as well, but only the exported displays are dim. If I look into the cockpit they're readable, but everything seems to export dim. It's especially noticeable on the Viper, where I need 7 or 8 hits on the brightness rocker.

No idea if, or how, that might be related to VR.

I wouldn't say the adjustment is in the wrong direction for VR; it definitely helps with low light conditions. That being said, the upper end definitely needs to be able go much brighter. A wider range is the best solution for all conditions and setups.

lol. It was something like "MFDs brightness adjustment resets to default when changing pages". Something like that.
