-0303- Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 (edited) Opinions before making an "official" bug report. Does gauge colors wash out at night this much for everyone? In video below especially compare IAS red/yellow needle and G-meter red/yellow strip. The latter does not wash out nearly as much. How all gauge colors should look? First daylight colors for comparison with night. 1920x1080 (min settings). Bad youtube quality [43 sec] (adjust best youtube quality, go fullscreen): 1:00 AM, spool up max Cycle "Instrument Panel Primary Light Rheostat" min - max twice Interestingly, this behavior changed with latest patches (most likely Open beta 2.5.6.50726 with it's list of "Corrected lights in the cockpits of next aircraft ..."). Better in one aspect. Used to be, turning up full "Instrument Panel Primary Light Rheostat" even in daytime, gauge colors washed out completely.

-0303- Posted July 2, 2020 Author Share Posted July 2, 2020 (edited) Remade top post. New video in higher game resolution (1920x1080) & zoomed in. New screenshot in exact same position daylight. Changed all text (discovered new things with better quality). Specifically, the G-meter (top panel) red/yellow does not wash nearly as badly (still red/yellow) as IAS red/yellow needle (completely white). 1) Shouldn't all colors act like the G-meter colors? 2) Is the gauge color washouts just me? Feedback, players? Made preparations, gathered files for bug report, don't want to waste DCS time if it's just me.

joker68 Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Reinstalled and fled a night mission with the f86 yesterday and got the same results. Vanilla game, no mods. It's a bug, unless the real aircraft has the same effect, which I doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED Team BIGNEWY Posted October 26, 2020 ED Team Share Posted October 26, 2020 Hi all, I have tried to reproduce but have been unable, can I ask you to give me a short track replay showing it, and a screenshot of your dcs settings. Please also try this. Rename your dcs folder in saved games Example: C:\Users\bigne\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta to C:\Users\bigne\Saved Games\DCS.openbetabackup run a full cleanup and repair or verify for steam users Restart dcs and test, this will rule out any settings or config errors. If there is no change you can close dcs and return to the backup up version. thank you Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

joker68 Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 (edited) Hi BIGNEWY, looking at your screenshot, it seems that you haven't turned on the gauge's backlight to the max, but I'll try to follow your tips and see what happens. Cheers :thumbup: EDIT: Removed local "saved games" folder, did a full cleanup/repair, created a quick mission at 1AM. First screenshot is with all rheostats in "vanilla" position, second one is with all 3 of them turned full right. Everything is white.

Machalot Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 I have always had this same issue. "Subsonic is below Mach 1, supersonic is up to Mach 5. Above Mach 5 is hypersonic. And reentry from space, well, that's like Mach a lot." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-0303- Posted October 28, 2020 Author Share Posted October 28, 2020 I made a bug report with a track. Here. -Yes, it's a fresh "Saved Games" and a repair & "cleaning files". -It has always behaved like this (NOT any recent patch). Yet again, I emphasize the (most annoying) comparison between the red/yellow of the G-Meter and the red/yellow of the IAS needle. The latter washes out nearly completely. But there's also all the other gauge coloring's like green arcs that shouldn't wash out as much. Or at all? Shine white light on colored surface, does color disappear? No. Intel Core i7 3630QM @ 2.40GHz (Max Turbo Frequency 3.40 GHz) | 16.0GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 798MHz | 2047MB NVIDIA GeForce GT 635M | 447GB KINGSTON SA400S37480G (SATA-2 (SSD)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
