monkie Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Just wanted to say thank you for the option of leaving the pilots visor up, it is a small detail that adds so much when looking at the exterior views. I wish the A-10, F-5 etc would give us the same option, something about seeing a bit of human face gives the aircraft scale and makes the pilot look less "robotic". Please never change this to the way it works with the other aircraft where the visor is linked to opening and closing the canopy. Great aircraft, the most fun I've had since the Huey came out. 1 Sager Laptop, i7-6700k 4.00GHz, 16GB RAM, GTX 980M, 1920x1080, TIR 5, Windows 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cytt0rak Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 I love it. My only problem with that is If you like to play when the brightness is low on the screen it gets kinda bad. I hope they will add a way to either remove the effect or change the transparency of the material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MegOhm_SD Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 I fly a mission in NTTR where you RTB into the sun late afternoon. Lowering the visor helps a little then but other than that its just a cool feature. I like it... I do wish it was a little darker shade.

Buckeye Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 I never lower the visor but I understand how that could be an issue. Does lowering the visor give any advantage to the player? Am I the only one that legit lowers the visor every single time it's bright outside in game? Pretty much if I would be wearing sunglasses in real life, I have the visor lowered. Maybe it's just a VR thing? I prefer things to be tinted in general, I wear sunglasses quite often IRL (pretty much 95% of the time the sun is out).

monkie Posted January 11, 2018 Author Share Posted January 11, 2018 If you think about it "Maverick" never lowered his, only the "bad guys" in they're Mig-28's did it, just sayin.

I hope they will add a way to either remove the effect or change the transparency of the material. Wouldn't the solution be to just, you know, not lower the visor? The whole point of having a tinted visor is to have protection from bright sunlight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sickdog Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 I love the feature too, but I think the sun glare protection should be more. To be honest, I mostly use it to wave to players when on the ramp or in close formation on MP servers. On that note, would be cool if DCS would implement a host of hand signals to other pilots/ground crew like they do in real life. I know, now I’m dreaming... but the visor up/down in quick succession is pretty close to my dream! TM Warthog, Oculus Rift, Win10... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devrim Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Maybe I miss something but, it's just a semi-transparent black overlay. It doesn't act as it should be against the sun. So, it doesn't make difference for me.
