Migo Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Hey, I have a problem that my aircraft and it's cockpit are way too bright at night. I've attached three screenshots. The A10c in the screens has no electrical power and is shut down, but it looks as bright as if there was a flood light on. Also in the external view it's the only brightly illuminated object on the runway. This is in the A10c II Nevada landing instant action mission. The Hornet in the third screen has some green instrument panel lighting on, but also no flood light and seems to be way too bright, too. Anyone else having this problem? Kind Regards, Migo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flappie Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 I've already had this issue a few weeks ago, on a previous build. I've never seen it again. What version of DCS are you on?

Solution b1n4ry Posted May 23, 2021 Solution Share Posted May 23, 2021 A buddy of mine had this problem too. Repairing your install and deleting precompiled shaders (e.g. with Skatzillas DCS Updater) fixed it. 1 AMD R5 3600 @ 4,5GHz, ASUS TUF RTX 3070 Ti, MSI Tomahawk B450 MAX, 32GB G.Skill Aegis DDR4-3200, Liquid Freezer II 280, Corsair HXi Series HX750i Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strikeeagle Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 Same issue here. Running the latest version of beta. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Migo Posted May 24, 2021 Author Share Posted May 24, 2021 It was gone after installing the latest beta patch at first, but the problem returned. I will see if I can reproduce this and report back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leg2ion Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 (edited) I get this problem initially at the start of a mission pre start up in A10C2, but then everything is plunged into darkness as if a light switch is turned off, when starting a mission at night.

Migo Posted May 24, 2021 Author Share Posted May 24, 2021 If I start the A10c II Nevada landing instant action mission directly after opening DCS it's alright, but if I fly a A10c mission in daylight at first and then enter the night mission I have this bug. As if something is falsely being cached in memory here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leg2ion Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 First mission after DCS start up is a night time - almost as if the aircraft is lit up in floodlighting, and its normally just as I am about to switch on the battery master everything goes very dark. Will try to get a screenshot or track later.

Leg2ion Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 Me on the ramp at Tonapah - all bright: Around 10 seconds later: This is first night mission after starting DCS. If I exit the mission then restart it - no floodlight affect.

strikeeagle Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 I did a full DCS repair & so far it’s fine. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leg2ion Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Still getting the same in Nevada - and the opposite in other maps. Shut down and restarted DCS. Created/started a night mission in the Persian Gulf - getting the opposite! So aircraft positioned in a floodlit position on a runway unknown (apologies - was a quick check). Tarmac now lit up - A10C2 all in blackness. Will do some more thorough testing and report back when I have a bit more time.

Leg2ion Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 (edited) OK - appears this happens in 2.5 as well, and only on the Nevada or Gulf maps. Have attached a couple of tracks from 2.5. When viewing a track showing the same from 2.7 it displayed correctly?

yogiklatt Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 I saw that kind of lighting only in VR with stereo parser enabled ... turning it off fixed my lighting issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kreutzberg Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 I get this (or something very similar). It seems to be common if I've flown during the daytime first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flappie Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Yes, the recipe has been found not so long ago: First play a daylight mission with clouds Then play a nighttime mission with no cloud at all: you get the bug.
