Darker Aircraft Heads-up???????

[=TC=]nuetron · Post by **[=TC=]nuetron** » 2008-01-02 04:20

ok, ive played Quinlang and Kashan and i must say............this REALLY needs a darker heads up display. The SU-25 cant see the dusty ground, the EF2000 and the J10 cant see the sky or anything basically. Whenever people ask for a LGB drop, i cant see anything(i could see how far away the target is by the attack marker[if there is one] but i cant see my height. so no dice

also, in the future, can u make it so the Soflam laser can be seen farther away? or maybe make it so the laser is locked on
(ie: locked on like the missiles lock on, with a beam going to the target from the center of the HUD)

by the way, goo job DEV team, nice game, "something as different from 0.5 as PR is from Vanilla!" -me

Though I have only flown once in .7 I have to agree, I was flying the eurofighter and if you look at the horizon it is so bright in comparison to any other map, I could not read my altitude when trying to land

I support a suggestion for a darker HUD in aircraft

Both. Text with dark center and bright borders or something like that. The difference doesnt have to be huge, just so you can see it everywhere. My two cents. (Of course this could be a problem when you play on 800x600 or something...)

I remember from back then when I was still playing vBF2 people were complaining about the Dragon Valley map because of its sky. It is too bright and you can't see the transparent green HUD against it. Same thing's happened here. I guess the change of sky would be IMO a better solution than changing the color of HUD in air assets and make them look unrealistic.

that was a big problem, and it would be benificial to just make the sky darker, like its going to rain clouds(slightly grey)

but the question about the ground and HUD of the Kashan SU25 problem is still here

How about a little black box right behind the text? That would help without any damage to the surrounding environment.

I did notice some disappearance playing with a chopper on a local server. I'm not entirely comfortable going without my artificial horizon, it's all that keeps me sane (and airborne)

a black box would help the EF2000, but not the light red J-10 or SU-25 or MiG-29

This was already discussed in the general forums.
