HUD glass too dark

[LineDX]

Hi team @iniBuilds @Eddie,

I just completed my first flight using the HUD, and I wanted to say it’s a fantastic addition ,it works really well. Thanks for your continued great work!

I did notice a couple of things that could use some improvement:

HUD Glass Tint:
The glass appears too dark, making it difficult to see the runway and surrounding landmarks clearly in both day and night good weather conditions. It would be great if the tint could be lightened significantly. For reference, a real world HUD YouTube video link is attached. The reference video HUD has a much more natural and lighter tint that provides excellent visibility. In real-world aircraft, HUD glass is usually very lightly tinted to avoid obscuring the outside view, and I think adjusting this would really improve usability.

HUD Cover Behavior:
The HUD cover seems unnecessary and can be a bit disruptive. Ideally, there should be an option in the OIS to disable the cover entirely. Also, clicking the HUD glass should stow the HUD rather than activate the cover, which doesn’t reflect typical behavior. I hope this is something your team can consider tweaking.

Thanks again for the great work — looking forward to more updates!

Best regards,

@iniBuilds @Eddie  For reference a youtube video link is attached. In the video you can see HUD glass is very transparent and very very light tinted.

100% agreed. RL A350 pilot, the tint is too dark and is the wrong colour. The declutter switch is also upside down (it flicks downwards not upwards to declutter). I've only had a quick play with it so far, but on the taxi out noticed there's no nosewheel depiction on the hud. 

In contrast to the OP, HUD Cover Behaviour accurately reflects the SOP usage of the HUD, with the cover installed/removed prior to HUD stowage.

Thanks for your contribution to this matter. Since you're a RL A350 pilot, please what do you think about my post here (see link below)?

Thanks once again.

HUD looks way better in FS2020.. still need to light up the tint a little bit. Now in FS2024 not sure its the sim or its ini need to make adjustments/fix.

FS2024. Agreed. Way too dark and can't seems to see the runway clearly on approaches. Please fix and do better especially with so much help from the author of the post and other customers inputs e.g. videos and pics.

Hi @Eddie will HUD glass excessive tinting in FS2024 be fixed in the upcoming hotfix?
