Title: Sunglasses
Post by: save on May 06, 2014, 01:51:39 AM
I dont know about you guys, but when I fly my small ultralights or drive car in good weather I almost always use sunglasses.
Would it not be be easy to implement a dotcommand for setting up a filter equivalent for the fighting forces sunglasses ?

Hide the sun with the cockpit frame. Directional arrow keys and PgUp/Dwn work fine. :)

Better yet a key assignment.  i doubt HTC takes off  in his RV without a cool pair of shades. :)

Well, I understand that it does hurt; the immediate transition between 'normal' and that 'bright' sun. While it isn't as bright as the actual sun, that transition in a game is rough.

I, and many others have asked for this on numerous occasions, at times the sun in game can be absolutely ridiculous and in reality most if not all pilots were issued with sunglasses or tinted glass goggles.

RAF issued A.M. MKVIII 22C/962 Aircrew Spectacles

This should be a toggle-able option :old:

I believe the real issue is the lighting in this game is backwards. For example, if I point my plane at the sun the instrument panel and everything else should get darker. In this game the whole screen around the sun becomes brighter which is incorrect. I believe a "-" negative sign needs to be added in the program.

I recommend everyone shine a flashlight in HTC's eyes because he may like it. :devil

That will most likely be addressed in the new terrain engine, if you've seen the new lighting and shadows/sunrise looks good.  :aok

I keep a pair of cheap sunglasses next to PC when needed for sunlight issues.

Yes but only to drown out the other players screaming at me to turn it off during a spawn  battle and I'm in a Tank Destroyer ;)

People ask for sunglasses. Sunglasses get added to the game, and they still don't see the con because they fail to use SA and get shot down.
Next up we want homing missiles, guns, anything to make it easier.

Only thing that can be added is a Cigar lighter to a 109F, deal with it.

The sun glare can be quite nasty. I have an eye condition which makes them very sensitive to glare, to the point that looking into the sun in AH us quite painful. Wearing sunglasses does help, however the downside is when you get back to the normal, non-sun view, things get fairly dim. One has to be selective when they fly (when sun is not at the midpoint on the horizon) and from where they fly from (not flying into it to get to the fight). That's the best way I've found to minimize the effects.

Can't have it. Galland's cigar lighter was a field mod  :old: :bolt:

Sunglasses are only for cool dudes...... And HTC decides who is cool / not cool in this game.

/.shades     Doesn't work for you?     Well now you know..........

Haven't tried sunglasses? Might try that tonight (*start Corey Hart song).

My kid was playing a baseball game on the Ipad and said "Dad this is almost like reality!".  I said I had one that was even better, we went outside and played catch.
