F-18 Korea. Hud intensity.
-
Hi all,
Been flying the F18 in 4.33 and had a lot of trouble seeing the hud symbology. I know the hid brightness is below the dead and have turned it up but really in and out of the cloud layers it’s nearly not visible most of the time. Any suggestions?Thanks in advance.

Screen setting: contrast - / gamma neutral

Has the DED on the F-18 been inproved so you don’t have to zoom in so much just to read it?

Yea it looks way better to me. No longer stretched looking

That can work. I (finally) took your advice and made those adjustments to make the F16 HUD readable for me.
However my experience is if you change contrast /gamma to get a ‘good’ F16 HUD, the F/A-18 is still washed out. The same monitor settings that allow you to see the F16 in cloud or bright sun, will not allow equal HUD intensity/contrast in the F/A-18.
Personally I think it has to do with the ‘light green’ / ‘dark green’ HUD coloring on the bottom and top of the F/A-18 HUD glass respectively. The top is too dark to allow for contrast equal to the bottom and to the F16.
Another way to put it: Should we need two different monitor correction settings depending on which AC we are flying?

you can try alt-H to change hud colours, i might be Control-H thinking about it. I find yellow much more visible.
