F10 Map 'Night Mode'


enza

Recommended Posts

My 2 cents: A nice feature would be a 'dark' version or 'night mode' of the F10 map to use when flying at dusk/dawn/night. My retinas get blown out whenever I need to switch between the cockpit and the map during low light flying.

 

Thanks,

100% agree! Would be a very welcomed addition to DCS.

+1 Maybe a darkened map with a flashlight over the mouse or something?

if ED manage to find a way to tone down the kneeboard whites for night then we wouldnt need to create night VR compat kneeboards. But the stock ones are overbright and cause smear on VR and thus blindness. HB do this modestly, with understanding of the issue. I don't personally have an issue with the F10 map though...

Already done here (https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=242134) for the kneeboard and the cursor, I may add the same for the F10 map, I will have a look to see if there are not too many shaders to modify.

With all the improvements to the night lighting and how awesome it is getting I'd like to bring this back up. Opening the map in a dark room while you are night flying is like getting hit with a flash bang. Making this a bit of a priority would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah, I like the idea behind having a darkened map, and having the cursor be a flashlight, no reason why you couldn't do the same thing with the kneeboard. Plus it's probably more realistic.
