Phosphene visual artifacts and temporary partial blindness

[KG26_Alpha]

As already mentioned the map designer can capitulate these effects using time of day, map & weather in IL2 1946.

As for bringing it into the "pit" goggles etc the 2 dimensional view a monitor produces is already a vast restriction in the "pit".

Use the cpu cycles for something else me thinks

Thats actually true, you're right one of the things I noticed early and loved about Il-2 was its modeling of "snow blindness". Blessed Russians actually understand continental winter climates...

The goggles might be a neat feature though, like a reticle dimmer that actually works. FOV may already be restricted by the monitor but this fact would exist both with or without goggles. The goggles would simply give the pilot another configuration feature to tweak, that would have realistic trade-offs and matter in combat (like gun convergence).
