1.2.6.2 HELMET VISOR
For a long time the lack of contrast of the HUD against the clear blue sky created readability issues for
many of us. BMS 4.34 introduced a visor mask that increases the contrast by lowering the brightness
of the sky. Exactly like a pilot lowering his flying helmet dark visor in front of his eyes.
Just like the NVG it is a toggle and there is no hotspot in the cockpit for this as it is initiated on the
helmet itself. You will therefore have to use the relevant new callback associated to a keystroke
(default ALT v), which can be mapped to a spare HOTAS button to allow convenient access in flight.

1.2.6.3 PILOT MODEL
Before 4.34 the F-16 cockpit was empty.
Harpoon’s popular pilot model has been added by default
into the cockpit with two kneeboards where relevant dynamic flight information can be displayed.
These DDS files can be manually edited or created very easily with Weapon Delivery Planner. This
pilot model can block some panel views, so can be deactivated either through UI options (SETUP >
GRAPHICS) or in 3D with a keystroke associated with a callback (default ALT c then p).
