How to reduce afterburner induced light in cockpit

[LeonWaterloo]

Hey everyone!

 

How can I make the reheat caused light in cockpit less prominent (or disable it)?

It totally kills the immersion for me in night missions when I want to step on the gas and the dashboard suddenly gets illuminated like it is Times Square. :(

I'm playing WoE with NATO Fighters.

 

Thanks for your answers.

Thanks for your reply but I can't figure out a work around for my problem from that thread.

Also I'm not sure what differences are there between SF1 and SF2 .ini system... (I'm playing with the former)

 

Basically it is only a nuisance, I want the cockpit to stay like this

 

 

instead of this when I'm using the afterburner.

 

 

Cheers.

That second picture looks right to me. The cockpits in SF1/SF2 have alwasy gotten a little lighter when you kick the afterburners on. Since I've never been in anything with an afterburner in real life, I can't say if it's realistic or not. Seems like it would be...

 

Go to the entry that the other thread talks about and change it to 0.0. See if that works.

I've been fumbling around with the ini's and finally after finetuning the lightrange setting in 'AfterburnerEmitter3.ini' I made the cockpit look a lot less like it has a chandelier in it when I hit the gas. Although I changed the setting so the cockpit does get illuminated but only by a few tones as a low-key visual reminder that I have reheat on.

 

Thanks malibu43.

I DO have real life experience with this.. In F-4s, F-16s and F-15s.. You can't see any extra illumination when you light the wick... ANOTHER BS effect is how quiet it gets when you bust MACH.. it DOES NOT get quiet in the cockpit when you go supersonic..
