f16 hardly visible floodlighting and hardly visible MFD's

Hi i noticed the floodlighting is pretty much invisible in the f16 if it is daytime (even on a dark day).

I don't have this problem in the jf17, as with most jf17 stuff it just works as expected.

 

Also when u start early in the morning the mfd's  are not readable, for some reason the brigtness of the mfd is lowered when hopping in a warm plane at dawn.

I always need to fix the brightness.....it makes no sense.

Agreed. I work on Vipers, and it’s not like that IRL.

ED have defaulted MFD lighting to low before a certain local time, expecting it to be dark. Same for indexers. 

For me, the indexers are completely off if I start in the dark.

The MFDs are really hard to read.  I tried the brightness rocker switch but it didn't do anything.  Someone said increase gamma.  I raised my gamma from 1.8 to 1.9 and it helped a little.

It is just ways too small... if you run DCS with a 1:1 pit and have it on the screens.. you are not able to ready anything there clear... if you are a little older it is nearly impossible. You have to zoom in and loose your SA complete...

Do you have a 1:1 F-16 pit?

Yeah. Building on it, 2nd one for now... . And tried to run the MFD on the planned screens and compared to the sim that is not allowed to talk about. The differences are huge.... on one I am able to read it, on others I am not able to read anything. Because witch a discance from 50+cm to a 7+ screen for me (I am not aged 40..) it is nearly not possible to read anything. I see that there are symbols.. but no chance to read any of the numbers.

I really would like to sit once in a life jet with the MFD on and find out if those numbers are really just 1mm big...
