Jack Sawyer Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Nice Erik, I just broke my glasses and it's costing me a fortune I don't have to get new ones. So it's difficult to see. I'm wearing a four year old prescription which is so old I'm getting headaches from the fuzziness. Won't see the new ones for 10 days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulb Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Wow! Those are some serious night shots Erik! Strange really, but apart from the last shot, the absence of visible autogen etc brings back memories of flying earlier versions of FS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you get your new glasses these days? I expect all to go best for you! On 4/16/2017 at 1:04 AM, jury42 said: For me too! Jury, I really love your rendition for better night time visibility. Thanks a lot! On 4/16/2017 at 1:58 AM, Sammy H said: A wonderful set, love night flying. Thanks a lot for coming along Sammy! I wouldn't have though that flying at night can be just as fun as day VFR or even more. On 4/16/2017 at 3:08 AM, paulb said: Wow! Those are some serious night shots Erik! Strange really, but apart from the last shot, the absence of visible autogen etc brings back memories of flying earlier versions of FS. Thanks so much Paul. He he he, would be a good fps improvement opportunity. Why have autogen if you don't see it anywaym but I had it set high When moving the sliders I always remember that even on the sparse settings we have more autogen than in the early days.

So another ten days wait. Such is life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adambar Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Geez Erik, I can't see diddly squat, even without my glasses and my nose up to the monitor. You need to lighten up bro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep me posted until everything's resolved I guess you would fly like Jack from your comics if you flew without your good vision But even with good vision flying can become challenging because of visual illusions especially dangerous without thorough pre-flighting.

First time I heard it! Thanks for the funny comment! Night flying is really crazy, can't see the ground or anything except lights. Talking about black hole effect. Here's an interesting video that shows how dangerous flying at night can be because you don't see terrain: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Sawyer Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Amazing video Erik. Thanks. Yeah, glasses in who know how many days and they might mess them up again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
