Default sun reflections on the front windshield, i dont understand them

all right inside the windshield is aiming down, so to the sun to reflect and not let you see the sun should come from your feet, but thats no posible

am i missing something or this is another esample of simming being harder than reality?

edit:

i was just thinking: why wwii windshields IN THE SIDES have a negative angle and not a positive that would give more space and therefore more vision and aerodinamically be almost neglecatable?

simple: to avoid sun refelctions on the glass that imo happen unrealistically in the game

edit:

oh i cant wait to jump online and let someone follow me then fly exactly in the position that the sun unrealistically reflects on the windshield for me, but if it does for me it does for whoever is following me


i wonder if should stop sharing my creativity on strategies i hope none does this to me

No offence raidddd, but really think you should stop thinking so much because whenever I read one of your posts, the CPU in my head overheats and short circuits.

Sun reflections happen in real life.

Unfortunately your a couple of decades behind real life tactics... Hence "Beware the hun in the sun" (Thanks commando comics )

put a mirror instead of the windshield

it reflects your feet

how can the sun come from your feet if there is the floor?

now seriously

i would wash my bike weekly but in ten years i never washed my car, like that the sun can go through the dust and in certain angle not let you see but if you keep the windshield clean it doesnt happen

the first cars had no hood, the reason for the typical angle in the windshield is not aerodinamics but not to reflect sun light, if it was the opposite angle when the sun is up it would reflect and not let you see

if an image worth a thousand words a video worth a million words






ai raaaid: ive been thinking the annoying reflections shouldnt be like that

other ai: oh i dont understand oh are you crazy thats mathematical?

well have you seen the video we are not real we are programs with bugs

and if we are programs we are totally predicatable which means we are not playing a game but wacthing a linear movie scripted based in our future behaviours, the mouse doesnt even use electricity doesnt even work you move it and they know where you will move it and make the movie accordingly

oh theres nothing like to have the scripter-programmer on your side

you click the mouse and it happens 30 ms later the effect

but what when the effect of clicking the mouse happens 30 ms BEFORE you actually clicked the mouse
