Padonis Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 After turning on the HMD, the JHMCS viewfinder is very difficult to see. All lines and numbers are thin and pale, almost disappearing in the case of a distant view (magnification). The middle cross disappears completely. Is it possible to improve it, strengthen brightness and thickness of ropes and numbers? To see the JHMCS viewfinder well, you must have a very narrow field of view :( .

Donut Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Can you provide a screenshot? What is your monitor resolution? Is the HMD knob turned all the way to the right for max brightness? i5 7600K @4.8GHz | 1080 Ti | 32GB 3200MHz | SSD | DCS SETTINGS | "COCKPIT" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donut Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Yeah, something doesn't look right there. I haven't used the JHMCS since the latest update but maybe someone else can comment if they are having the same issue. The only thing I can suggest is try deleting your fxo and metashader2 files in your username/saved games/DCS directory to see if that resolves the issue. i5 7600K @4.8GHz | 1080 Ti | 32GB 3200MHz | SSD | DCS SETTINGS | "COCKPIT" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Padonis Posted December 8, 2018 Author Share Posted December 8, 2018 I checked different shadow settings, also GUI Scale - no changes. I also changed the values in the file HMD_init shaderLineDefaultThickness = 1.8 i shaderLineDefaultFuzziness = 1.5 And it is still so bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esac_mirmidon Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Only for testing purposes try shadows high. " You must think in russian.."

Padonis Posted December 8, 2018 Author Share Posted December 8, 2018 The maximum brightness should be larger and slightly thicker lines and numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knock-Knock Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 I can see you run a multi-monitor setup of sorts, giving you kind of a funny res of 2944x2160 (and ratio). Id not be surprised if that is the culprit, cause it looks like a scaling problem with the JHMCS. Try the default single monitor (and res / ratio) and see if that makes it better. Then we at least know if that is where the problem is. - Jack of many DCS modules, master of none. - Personal wishlist: F-15A, F-4S Phantom II, JAS 39A Gripen, SAAB 35 Draken, F-104 Starfighter, Panavia Tornado IDS. | Windows 11 | i5-12400 | 64Gb DDR4 | RTX 3080 | 2x M.2 | 27" 1440p | Rift CV1 | Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS | MFG Crosswind pedals | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padonis Posted December 8, 2018 Author Share Posted December 8, 2018 (edited) On one full HD 16/9 monitor is unfortunately the same. The previous version, before the last update, was clearly brighter, better visible. Edited December 8, 2018 by padonis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can imagine your feeling :( Different from you, but on my side, in VR with Oculus, i had to set it in the option for both eyes, if only one eye used it was too dimed and lack contrast at the point not enjoyable and barely visible depending on the background it went over.

Sarge55 Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Do you have any mods to reduce the blurry text in the DDI's? If so, that might also be effecting the JHMCS lines.

DDSSTT Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 You modified the "MDG_strokesDefs.lua" for the sharpness by changing the stroke_thickness/fuzziness to a smaller value, didn't you. If yes, then that is the reason. I noticed for VR that the HMD is about half as "thick" or "visible" as the HUD and sharpening the HUD/DDIs adversely affected the HMD.

I had the same problem. https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=226040 The color, thickness, and brightness of the lines make it difficult if not impossible to read sometimes. And I am exclusively in VR, which is an additional challenge. I've noticed the HUD and color DDI for the moving map are the same. Not really usable at all under a lot of conditions. On top, looking down into the clouds, the JHMCS is totally unusable. Text completely disappears. Same with the HUD. I was told that was realistic and didn't know what I was expecting. May be unrealistic, but also unusable. Best to leave the feature out entirely if your not going to make it usable in a practical sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
