Goggles?
« on: March 09, 2008, 05:59:11 PM »
hmmm. I dont know about you guys but it sure would be nice to put some goggles on my pilot when flying into the sun. Im sure most pilots during the time period had some sort of eye protection. How about it HTC?

The gunsight on some of my planes blocks out the sun  :cool: . Don't know how because it doesn't do it all the time.

Squinting can be simulated by adjusting gamma.

I always just move my pilot so the bars on the cockpit block out the sun, but it's annoying.

Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

Ya'll know German airplanes actually had a tinted visor that popped up over the gunsight to help block the sun rays.

Check it out.

Keep a welding hood with a #10 shade in it by your pilot seat. :aok

Embarrassingly enough I have more than once held my little finger up to block the sun.  It's amazing how ingrained habits will occasionally surface at the most inappropriate times.

Oh I love the Magic the Gathering reference there.  :aok
I used to play that as well as Legend of Five Rings and Starwars CCG (before Decipher sold the rights to it)

Heck I still play table top games like Warhammer 4oK and Battle fleet Gothic.
