So my HUD is barely readable when set against certain conditions. See the Screens below:





Going to Night vision mode helps a bit, but doesn't totally solve the problem.


I've set the Intensity setting on the Hud (via the UFC) to max, and the above are the results.

Any thoughts?

The only solution I have found is by increasing the size of the text in the HUD.

In real life the HUD isn't always perfectly readable. My advice is to:

1. Live with it.
2. Zoom in.
3. Reduce your HUD intensity (sometimes full intensity is less clear).

I tend to find when i first join a game my hud is unreadable until i zoom in and back out to the normal level, don't know why may be a system setting but i just rock my zoom control and seems ok for me after that.

We find the winter environment pretty restricting too that way... just need to improvise, adapt and overcome.

So as an update, I've been playing around with SweetFX and DCS, and I believe I can get it tuned just right. A contrast bump and HDR go a long way toward solving the problem. I'll update after more tweaking.

Anyone else notice that when using NVGs, the HUD in night mode (yellow) washes out the NVGs (creating a blurry halo around the HUD markings) where leaving it in day mode (green) does not?

Are you reducing the intensity? Night mode is not necessarily NVG mode. At low intensities I use both HUD colors quite easily. It's surprising how dim you have it when you take the NVG off!

No, i haven't adjusted the brightness. I just thought it funny how the brighter display (to the naked eye) was less bright when the NVGs are turned on. Seems kind of counter-intuitive.

Night mode is for the naked eye, not for NVG use. Green has the least impact on NVGs, that's why all the cockpit lighting was modified in the mid 90s on all A-10s (then A models).
