Can't play ... wait till you see why
« on: March 19, 2000, 03:20:00 PM »
I just exited the arena because I couldn't shoot straight.  The reason, the sun was glaring so bad off my monitor, I could hardly see a thing.  No matter which way I positioned it, I was still having to squint to see my gunsight.  HTC, can you please do something about the sun ... it seems overmodeled to me.    Barring a major rainstorm (we do get a lot of them here in Oregon), I don't think I will be able to play until it gets dark.  I know this is probably the lamest excuse ever, but I swear, it's true.  It's an older monitor with a fuzzy screen and when the sun hits it, you can't see a thing.  Rather than get laughed at, I just logged.

Look HTC, I'm really not asking for much, just a 20 to 30% decrease in sun intensity ... or better yet maybe I should invest in a set of blinds.

Fly by brail if you cant see everytime you hear something different just turn. If you need help to see where you are going announce your position on open channel and we will help you back to the tower.

When your truly a zen master of the sky you wont need to 'look' you will just fly.

Practice with a blindfold - you'll be pleasantly suprised.

Get a Glare Screen.  They cost about $40, and most of the sunlight is reflected away.

You think YOU'VE got problems!!

I haven't even HAD a monitor since just after the beta ended.

I've been doing all my killing by using the Force!

Of course, you could always limit your flying to nighttime
