Now that is one of the most silly reasons I've heard NOT to do something yet.
That whole line of reason makes perfect nonsence
How is that cheating? real pilot swould put their hand up to block out the sun to be able to see, whats wrong with using ther clipboard?
Not to meantion for anyone to be able to use it as a cheat they would have to be able to get it to move so as to always be blocking the sun while they moved.
As soon as you got ot turn that pust the sun in a different place and thus the clipboard would no longer be blocking it and you would have to move the clipboard again.
really even using the clipboard to blck would be far less realistic then if you were able to block it with your hand.
The sun is probably the most accurately modeled thing in the game. Gives me the same type flipping splitting headache I get from the real sun.
but the most annoying thing is you cant even view the clipboard with the sun behind it because its so bright and shines right through.
In any event I hope the powers that be see the light (no pun intended) and change this.
While being able to block the sun with the clipboard would cut down on this ungodly glare it also reduces your visability and gives you a blind spot so IMO there is a fair tradeoff here
