Thanks all for the attempt. Alas we never made it to landing as the server auto restarted just as we few survivors were approaching the french coast on our way home; this has duly been noted and I shall remember to restart the server prior to our next long mission. There we’re clearly some graphical anomalies for some that, as we rarely operate at night, came out of left field - my apologies to those who suffered; having seen FTs screenies I can well see the magnitude of your troubles! We did some investigation after the mission, and are starting to tie down the causes. It should not look like that - the landscape was a lot more discernible on my machine - and even after the sun has set there should be some ambient lighting of the terrain, not the total Stygian blackness that some of you experienced. The incoherent lighting of the aircraft vs the surroundings was also odd, when opportunity allows I will post a screenshot of what I was seeing at the time. I suspect this comes down to a combination of GFX drivers, shaders and DCS graphics settings. We’ll nail it down. Bob, I think you’re right, might need to allow some extra time for getting up and formed as we were almost 30min late to the target, making the attack more difficult than it was meant to be. It was great to see - and hear - so many Mossies in the air at once, glad you chaps enjoyed it despite the difficulties. Once we’ve got the issues sorted I will be happy to re-run in the future. I will also try to find some more historically authentic missions to recreate. Jericho is in the wings, awaiting the necessary bomb-fusing developments from ED but I shall see what other adventures that the ORBs of 140 wing can generate.

Great mission ... thanks Fenrir! Had some issues with trim, meaning, the way I have it setup right now is not good, fighting it all the way.. Updating the beta right now... should be better then, I hope. And there's the graphics, in the dark ... I took these screenshots... First one is with Gamma at 3.5 After I bailed out (well, you can see that flying on made no sense ) set Gamma back to 1.8 and it all looked like this: Great to fly with that many mossies though, and everything went okay - until it got dark over here ... really really really dark

Ok, here are some screenies of what I see for comparison. We should have been over target at in game time of ~20:05 and it should have looked like this: Later on, at about 20:35 or when we should have been about 2/3rds of the way to the French coast, like this: For the darker ones, I recommend you full screen the image and zoom in to eliminate the glare and competing contrast of the bright white forum page background; you'll get a better understanding of how much more is visible, and whilst still dark, should be far more reasonable to be asked to fly in than the conditions that some of you were experiencing.

Hey Dogz, I just finished installing/configuring this (Windows in my case, but it will export to Android also). It allows you to put some of those hard to see gauges on an external monitor. You can read about it here if interested, this is what the end result on my setup is in a Tempest..

Thanks Fen! It was a fun and enlightening or should I say "darkening" mission. Sorry that I lost my orientation after the flight and did not get a chance to bomb target. So how many mossies actually made it home? I appreciate all the effort you put into this mission. I can't wait for another one, if you have the energy to create one. Cheers

Read about it where?
