Faulty sun glare
« on: April 21, 2009, 01:35:24 PM »
When flying into the sun, the glare is strong as it should be.  If you want to arrow over to a metal to avoid the glare until your heading changes or sun adjusts.  So that is normal right? Ok.

But when I bring up my clipboard, the sun glare goes through the clipboard.  That should be changed.  The clipboard should block the glare as it would in real life. 

This is something I think should be corrected by HiTech.  :salute

You know that is genius I never thought to put my clipboard up +1.  Oh and maybe a pair of sunglasses for a perk.

Even with sunglasses you shouldn't be looking at the sun. ;)

I agree with you completely, SEraider.

I hope HiTech looks into this because I do have my clipboard up a lot on the way to a target because I am trying to think ahead.  Having the sun go through it is a pain.

If I remember correctly...may not, old fart soaked in beer.... that is the way it was long ago. The problem was people would shrink it down and use it to block the sun, so by taking away the "come at them from out of the sun" option. The sun is there and brite to hide what might be coming at you, its part of the game play.
