Title: Sunblind in the tower
Post by: DREDIOCK 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.

Sincerely,

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

It is all a misunderstanding.  Our sun has been modeled correctly.  It is the time that is wrong.  It has been modeled 5 billion years in the future with its hydrogen supply running really low  :rofl

It would be a red giant, so is still modeled wrong.  ;)

If you look at it long enough, it looks red.  So does everything else though  :lol

IMO i think we need a .sunglasses command. I know they had them in WW2 because the sunglasses where invented by the japanese in 1430 by smoking the glass, worn by judges to conceal there expressions. (just a little history fact)

With World War II brewing in 1936, Ray Ban designed anti-glare aviator style sunglasses, using polarized lens technology newly created by Edwin H. Land, founder of the Polaroid Corporation.
They also designed a slightly drooping frame perimeter to maximally shield an aviator’s eyes, which repeatedly glanced downward toward a plane's instrument panel. Fliers were issued the glasses at no charge, and the public in 1937 was able to purchase the model that banned the sun's rays as Ray-Ban aviator sunglasses.

Yea, can't fly with polarized glasses anymore because of the glass cockpits. I have many-a-pairs of $200+ glasses just wasting away now because you can't read the "computer" screen without turning your head precisely at the right angle. Good for fishing though!

no matter where your going, mission or not, the Sun is always there to blind yer way  :old:  there should be a dot command for raybans, like   .shades     sure it will help with the sun, but not sure if it would reduce how far you could see in all the other directions while there on

I looked at the sun once.  It was bright. I spend most of my days at work inside. It really hurts to go out when the sun is out. Same is true if I drink a 1 too many beers on my day off.
