Sunblind in the tower
« on: December 26, 2010, 07:11:36 PM »
Just curious.

Ok I can see how the sun can play a role in a GV or plane.
And I concede the fact that the sun can shine though solid objects like Maps and clipboards. (not really but I dont feel like arguing that point)

But it is REALLY necessary for the sun to blind you while in the tower?

Look at the sun out of a window of any building...what do you see?

Perhaps turn your head a little to one side.

The whole budget was spent on the flight model and terrains, unfortunatly this left no money for blinds in the tower  :D

They could at least pile up a couple P-38 scraps to block the sun.

Dear HiTech,

Please turn the sun down.

That same sun is outside, you remember the world you never go to and never open the shades to reveal, don't you?  :devil

Dude, You have any idea what I do for a living? Trust me. I easily spend more time both outside, outside looking up and around windows (lookiing out) on from the inside on a yearly basis then most people here. Or most people anywhere for that matter

IRL a good deal of those times I have the sun shining right in my face. But, In any of those circumstances I dont get blinded by the sun 1-100th as much as I do here unless Im in a car. And that is caused by glare off the windsheild.

And I've never had the sun blind me when standing in the middle of a room unless it was a greenhouse and even then I had to be looking exactly directly at the sun to be effected by it. Movement of my head by even a fraction of an inch and the sun is no longer that big a deal.

Now Im not looking to have the sun glare adjusted from any part of the game where its going to effect gameplay. But there is no reason to be sunned out in the tower

I do regularly. In fact. I've probobly looked out more windows then you have seen buildings
See above post

and the point is I actually have to be looking exactly directly AT the suns center to receive the same effect.

If Im standing in the middle of a room. such as you are when i the tower. regardless of the suns location on the horizon. I never get the same effect we get here
