fitness88 Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Interesting, with yesterday's big update the cockpit night time lighting has improved with added lighting accents but flying during the day you can hardly see the electronic displays and DDI's. Hope they keep the night time lights and tweak the daytime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fri13 Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 It is challenge to see even a HUD in a day time, even more to see a JHMCS that is completely washed out in NTTR in default weather. DDI becomes difficult to read if sun lits it, so you are maneuvering aircraft to get it in shadow. i7-8700k, 32GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 2x 2080S SLI 8GB, Oculus Rift S. i7-8700k, 16GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 1080Ti 11GB, 27" 4K, 65" HDR 4K.

mastersetter Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 This is strange as i read a few of the issues yesterday and upgraded last night to check. My cockpits and mfd's, ddi's also HUD etc are fine, a little less blown out but i thought they looked ok and i can read them easy enough even in vr.. i read on the dcs facebook group that enabling global cockpit lighting helps.. i5-7600K @ 4.8 | 32GB | 1080 | Rift S | TM MFD & WH HOTAS-10mm ext + TFRP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meyomyx Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 The MPCD is MUCH better - I can use it with the map turned on now. However, in bright sunlight, it' s not easy to see the HUD information - or the MFD information in direct sunlight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fitness88 Posted June 5, 2020 Author Share Posted June 5, 2020 The lighting must be a 'time of day' affect because at night it is not affected at all, as mentioned it works great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldcrusty Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 I'm impressed with night time lighting inside the cockpit (especially adjustable FLIR gain) and outside. Tested only in a A/G mission in SP. Moonlit night... everything looked perfect. (in Oculus) Tomorrow I'll give it a shot with night time refueling. I'm curious about A/C lights, vis distance and so forth. Too bad the FLOLS overlay is still mandatory. Shows up at 2nm on case III final at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get this mod from user files downloads, allows the screen to dim as much as you want keeping the info bright...it's very good.

CBStu Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 I've only had the new version 2 days but the only thing I have noticed is that the gear and flap lights are now just some green mishmash that is about half as bright as before. not a big deal but I used to be able to actually read the names on them.
