Title: Log In Blindness
Post by: caldera on January 28, 2014, 10:25:09 AM

Why does the tower and clipboard have blinding glare at certain fields?  This was my view upon logging in a few moments ago:

Imagine new(er) subscribers logging in and thinking there was something wrong with their gamma - or worse, the game.  No reason for the clipboard  to do this in any case.

Was that view looking into the sun?

Yes, it's the sun. You can see it directly under the right side of the chalkboard

Sure looks like it......but then he has a point, as seasoned flyers we know what we're looking at.  A new user might take one look and assume the software is junk.

That's another quirk.  The clipboard should actually appear darker with the sun behind it.  Don't think the clipboard needs "realistic" glare anyway.  Kind of silly for the game.
