wilbur81 Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 With the HMD brightness knob turned down to minimum at night, it appears too bright in current O.B.

KLaFaille Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Add the IFEI night lighting and RWR buttons to displays that are too bright at night. I've actually taken to turning the IFEI entirely off and running the ENG support page on one of the DDI's because it's so bright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swift. Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 IFEI is fine once your turn it onto NITE mode. Then it goes green and you can turn the brightness right the way down. As for JHMCS you can also adjust the brightness slightly with the power dial, but I think the best method is via the HMD page but its not modelled just yet. 476th Discord | 476th Website | Swift Youtube Ryzen 5800x, RTX 4070ti, 64GB, Quest 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to fly with the cockpit lighting, HUD, and displays extremely dim at night. The IFEI only dims so low, which is not nearly as dim as the rest of the lighting. The brightness for the RWR buttons doesn't dim at all and just flashes when it gets to a notch before it turns off completely, though I care less about them than the IFEI. The IFEI is as dim as it goes before shutting off in these two pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAW_Impalor Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 (edited) Then what is it supposed to do? That's an HMD screen, all other buttons do something with JHMCS display. This maybe not be the same JHMCS, but it promises 'day and night capabilities': https://elbitsystems.com/product/joint-helmet-mounted-cueing-system-jhmcs/ Edited January 27, 2021 by impalor 12900KF@5.4, 32GB DDR4@4000cl14g1, 4090, M.2, W10 Pro, Warthog HOTAS, ButtKicker, Reverb G2/OpenXR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is if we just assume things they often end up being incorrect, its best to find a reference. thanks Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

And I do not have reference yet. But just rethink this for half a second. In a logical point of view doesn´t day/night simply sounds like the same as what the day/night switch for the HUD does? Yeah and I know your answer already 7 hours ago, BIGNEWY said: I have made the request, but please understand this is a low priority issue, we have a lot of work being done on the hornet so as soon as there is time to look at it the team will. thanks Ok thanks. Just to note. It is not perfect, but (at least with my mousewheel on a Logitech G502) it needs five"clicks" to turn the HMD on (and thus to the lowest brightness) from zero. Before that nothing happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED Team BIGNEWY Posted January 27, 2021 ED Team Share Posted January 27, 2021 The information we have is only the HMD knob controls brightness for JHMCS. thanks Forum rules - DCS Crashing?
