Title: We need sun-glasses
Post by: bod on September 30, 1999, 10:14:00 AM

Although the light reflections on the panel are nice, they are very irritating in RL. How about some sunglasses that tones down the reflections ?  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Real glasses wont do since it really is the colors and not the light intensity that changes. So we need "real virtual" sunglasses.

I prefer Gargoyles.  And they cut down on the wind getting into the eyes, so I wanna be able to fly open cockpit too.

But then I will need that string, so my glasses don't fly off my head and out of my plane.

Pyro/HT how is ground handleing, will I be able to land on rough terrain, retrieve my sunglasses and land again.

I wanna know cause gargoyles are expensive, if I can't land and fetch them, I will just get a box of cheap sunglasses at a $.99 cent store.

(Added Note about Gargoyles, they will stop bullets.)

Well, if the glare is "worse" than Brand W's, I'd say it's an improvement. I thought "that other sun" was not severe enough; I could still get a decent shot at a sun-bound bogie 75% of the time, even when he flew directly into it.

It should really, really be a pain to look right at it.

Hear hear stiglr

It should be like it was in WB1.99(?) where you had to press F3 to put the radio box to the top of the screen to act as a sunvisor and pressing <tab> extended it down for those early morning takeoffs.  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Holy Cow, Stiglr and Glars, not the sun of Brand W's v2.0! That was waaaaay too bright. Granted, the current sun is wimpy, but please  let's not go back to that. I'm getting a migrain just thinking about it!  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
