Hi guys, if there is a future update to this fine aircraft, could it be considered to lower the bright blue effect on the canopy a touch.
It's very overpowering in certain angles imho.
Just a thought for later perhaps.
Cheers all.

Re: Blue canopy.
don't touch it! please
Re: Blue canopy.
I agree with Ramrod,
It does need to be changed slightly. It looks good from top views, but mostly from the side angles and views from below, it is just too blue. Also sky features,that are in the background, such as "blue sky" or "clouds" seem to enhance the "blueness".

Can it be done by repainters?
Re: Blue canopy.
I agree as well. I've never seen a canopy that blue/opague on any Spitfire photo or in videos/films.
Re: Blue canopy.
Yup! Agree. It's 'outstanding'!

Re: Blue canopy.
I think it looks awesome, so I say leave it the way it is. Doesn't matter what it looks like in pictures, it's gorgeous in the sim. It's the coolest canopy glass I've seen, realistic or not.

Re: Blue canopy.
I just finished watching the DVD of the Duxford 2010 BoB Airshow and couldn't help thinking of this thread as I watched it. During the 16 Spitfire display they had cameras inside two of them. You could very clearly see this blue tint to the glass which acts like a light filter. It lightens the dark areas and makes the bright areas easier to look at without eye strain, much like yellow tinted sunglasses. However, this blue tint was only directly in front of the pilot, the armored glass portion, on the planes shown in the video. It did not cover the whole canopy.
When it comes to the Accu-sim planes I don't think things should be left incorrect because they are "cool, realistic or not". That seems to go against the Accu-sim ethos. Maybe Darryl or Dudley can shed some light on what is correct in the Mk.I and Mk.II.
Just grabbed a screen cap where it can be seen. (Mk.IX shown)

Re: Blue canopy.
I've been fortunate enough to see many Spitfires in my time (close-up and flying) - and I don't think any of the canopies looked like that. Granted, very few of them had the armour-plated front panel ... but that's just the front panel. On the other hand - maybe some "modern" canopy re-creators/manufacturers have introduced this tinting for *restored* aircraft.
So much care and attention to detail has gone into this amazing add-on, that I feel if it's an easy thing to correct, then it'd really enhance the exterior view a lot. At the moment, I just feel as though I'm looking at an Airfix kit. Once noticed, I can't take my eyes off it!

Don't you just *love it* when feedback brings such a quick response? Very encouraging, *thank you*!ROB - A2A wrote:The canopy glass will be adjusted a little.

Re: Blue canopy.
I'm just wondering ... did this ever get fixed???
2016 now (gasp!!) ... and my Spit canopies in P3Dv3 are very blue - and seem to be excessively "white" when seen in outside views.
Is it a .mdl fix or can one of the textures be tweaked? I tried some alpha edits but with limited success.

Re: Blue canopy.
I can't say I can see any excessive blue in v3.3.5. Indeed, the only blue I see, looking from inside or out, is the sky itself. It seems to be neutral for me.
Here are my current settings for Lighting:
HDR lighting is enabled.
Brightness: 1.00
Bloom: 0.90
Saturation: 1.00
Dynamic Reflections: High
Lens flare: enabled.
Cheers.
Steve.

Re: Blue canopy.
Same here Adam, all "clear".
It might be worth double checking that the Spitfire has actually updated on your system. Easiest way to tell is look at the Primer... if that is the proper brass colour, not a more bronze colour, then the blue canopy should be gone. If bronze, the updater hasn't applied to the Spit.
