WildBillKelsoe Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 You cant see anything forward at night ???? The glass tint masks the surrounding area not even a B-17 popping flares dead ahead. AWAITING ED NEW DAMAGE MODEL IMPLEMENTATION FOR WW2 BIRDS Fat T is above, thin T is below. Long T is faster, Short T is slower. Open triangle is AWACS, closed triangle is your own sensors. Double dash is friendly, Single dash is enemy. Circle is friendly. Strobe is jammer. Strobe to dash is under 35 km. HDD is 7 times range key. Radar to 160 km, IRST to 10 km. Stay low, but never slow.

Dodly Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 It even masks during day time activity,with some kind of incorrect glare,that looks like heat radiation. My rig:I7 4970 3.5 GHZ,GTX 970,16G RAM,MSFFS2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildBillKelsoe Posted July 14, 2018 Author Share Posted July 14, 2018 I dont know about that. The yellow greenish tint needs dilution ED artists! Its hard to pick up anything in daytime too.

Ercoupe Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Yeah, that greenish tint isn't something you see when watching films from the cockpits of restored Spitfires. But one question....who flys a Spitfire at night? And B-17's popping flares? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildBillKelsoe Posted July 15, 2018 Author Share Posted July 15, 2018 I believe it was a night fighter too. And the B-17 flares I meant as in scripted flare release.. not heat seeking countermeasures. Signal flare on unit.

Hornetjock Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Geeez...the Spit is hard enough. Why take a day fighter out at night? Harder to see the enemy. No - impossible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quadg Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 ww2 fighters have very thick armoured glass upfront. and 5 inches of glass acts both as a prism and a lens. and none of the flightsims model it correctly. http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/ubb/printthread/Board/366/main/390182/type/thread here is a guy with a block of armoured glass showing some of the issues. and you will notice the glass is slightly green. yes it is for a fw190 but the spit is the same.

Captain Orso Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 The key point is that "the glass is slightly green": as opposed to this: When you hit the wrong button on take-off System Specs.

Art-J Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 At first I didn't even notice all the same fake reflection dots and dashes being repeated on the windscreen (the dimmer frame being the most "in your face" piece of crap limiting the view), but later it became obvious that the whole texture layer has been duplicated all across the armoured glass, which not only doubles the static reflection and tint problem, but also doubles the hopeless dynamic reflections problems. I wonder when / if it's going to be fixed here. All of it happens while the tint on the Mustang has been toned down a little bit in recent versions, while the Fw-190 has none of it at all :D. i7 9700K @ stock speed, single GTX1070, 32 gigs of RAM, TH Warthog, MFG Crosswind, Win10.

antagonist Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 we got algae on the windshield ???? shhhhh.. DCS Algae announced ???? Contrary to popular belief, glass isn't actually without color. :P Most glass I've seen has a green hue, but there are some brands of Duran lab grade glass that are actually gray.
