Title: Goggles?
Post by: bparker 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.

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.

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.

the sun is bright but i do what someone else said move the frame over the sun, i do like the sun though, seems very relistic to me,
allthough the only plane ive ever been in i was 6 months old, so i cant say just seems like it is more real.

Clip board should block the sun. My real life clip board does. <insert squinty eyed thingy here>

I have this crazy technique I once learned as a child.   I look away.

Since I use my laptops touch pad to look around, i jus move it a lil to the side..I see everything, and no glare.

BTW never follow anyone into the sun..he'll be pointin at you before u know it!

Just look away.

Actually that was a reference to a Simpsons reference.

That's the card format used by Magic: The Gathering, even though it is inspired by a line from The Simpsons, hence Daddyack's remark on MTG.
