its a hold over from an old version of the mod (DCS2.2) where there was two different NVG effects depending whether you were in a NATO or Soviet aircraft. I've yet to look into whether DCS still implements this using the NVD_HDR.fx file or elsewhere

Really simple fix to make the current version have more noise, Reduce the lift value and/or increase the nvg_noise value. What discord group is that from, I can't access the post. And not sure if you are refering to me about getting a VR headset but if so I havent been able to afford the GPU/VR headset cost the last 3 years so unlikely to be any time soon.

Hey PJ, i completely understand the problem but this has to do with 3d reprojections and without a VR headset I have no way to trial possible solutions. To be clear I have zero background in shaders or coding, just handy at maths and some patience combined with LOTS of trial and error. I have an inkling about where I might need to start but no way to try.

Hey All Version 1.4 is now up NOTE - SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO HOW VALUES ARE INTERPRETED. Suggest starting fresh with the MOD_nvg file in the download and update/play with values slowly This is also missing thr depth of field blur effect. That is next on lost of features. Version 1.4 - 22 March 2023 Features: NEW - Change colour, noise levels or contrast NEW - Ring/tubes/google number option - simulate monocular/biocular/quadocular NVGs - THANKS TO RYUK47 for this code addition Set NVG center point, size and ring dimensions Black ring effect with adjustable thickness settings. Variable render mode options Fixed folder naming issue to be truly OVGME ready Download here. OVGME read. As per old mod, change settings BEFORE APPLYING MOD

So good news all. I made a fair bit of progress over the last 2 days and I have sorted out the following controls/options - contrast - NVG color (eg what shade of green) - noise pattern (sprite type, size, timing) - noise intensity (much reduced by my current default as I think DCS is way over done) Doing all this though means using my own RBG-HSL/tinge-RGB conversion which means the default depth of field blur doesnt work. That is my next priorty over the next week and once I have that done Ill upload it all as a new version rather than drip feeding mod versions. Screen shots show 1. high contrast -this wouldnt be default but just evidence that everyone will be able to tweak the pickup/intensity curves 2. mid contrast - what ill probably have as stock settings 3. ring effect and my stock color 4 & 5. alternative color choice (also shows how moonlight/trees casting shadows is visible using my NVG amplification curves)

Link is fixed on first page, thanks for that.

Version 1.3.1 - 15 March 2023 - IM BACK!! Can be downloaded here or on first post Change log Fixed for to work with DCS 2.8 and Multi threading versions. Removed noise files as DCS incoportates simplex and perlin noise calculation .lua's Future focus - noise and color user control - additional viewport options

Hey HeloGuy. I am back working on this and trying to implement all the old features that I had working back at the start of DCS2.2 As part of that you will be able to change color but im not quite there yet. @Ryuk47 has also done some work to the mod with regards to different viewports. We are going to combine our work and update here once we have done that (im also moving it all to gihub to make maintainance much easier etc). @VR Flight Guy in PJ Pants As I have said previously I dont have a VR headset so I am unfortunately blind how this mod performs in VR. Until I get a new GPU (still rocking GTX1070) and a vr headset I am going to have to rely on others. @MTrenda Thanks for that. makes sense

Hey Mtrenda, I have just come back to DCS after not using it for over 2 years. I was just wondering how you found this error as the format of DCS logs seems to have changed. It used to be pretty explicit listing file/line of code/variable that was the issue but now it is a jumble of hex code?

Re did the whole first post to remove all the extraneous crap.

Hey all, updated link so people shouldn't have to request access because of the google drive hotkey change https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1s7D5Bzv2DFUkNtcWNZbWZTaXc/view?usp=sharing&resourcekey=0-84_ByCVzfjV0I7jryVoHig

From the first post: Eye Size and position: EYE_CENTER = sets center point of NVG effect on screen as percentage of X and Y starting at bottom left corner. eg (0.5f, 0.655f) = 50% across and 65.5% up. [b][u]EYE_SIZE = Sets X and Y diameter of NVG as percentage of screen size. eg (0.47f, 0.75f) = 47% of width of screen and 75% of screen height. Since most monitors aren’t square the y value will have to be larger than the x value to make a perfect circle; the ratio between the two numbers will be the same as your monitor aspect ratio[/u][/b]

Hey, if the whole screen is green it might be the mode option. Make sure the following line (line 13 of MOD_nvg.hlsl) is set to =2 static const int RenderMode = 2;

For anyone wondering about the naming of the string value and how to get it here are the full steps for setting/changing the default profile of a X52 or x52 Pro when you have the newer Logitech drivers/software installed: 1. open regedit 2. go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Logitech\Configuration\Controllers and copy the name of the folder there including curly braces, mine was {C7719F41-F667-4514-BBB4-3F38C9E4D05A} yours will be different as it is your device ID 3. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Logitech\Configuration\StartupProfiles\ if the folder/s dont exist make them by right clicking and choosing make new key. 4. make a new string value in the StartupProfiles folder (you cant edit the default one) where the name of the string is the is ID you got in step 2 (include the curly braces) 5. Right click on this string and choose modify, in the value data box copy in the file path to your profile that you want to load as default. eg mine is C:\Users\Public\Documents\Logitech\X52\HOTAS - DCS - A10C - IR.pr0 you need to include the .pr0 on the end

Hey Rephil, are you using JSGME, OVGME or just straight installing the mod into the DCS install folder? Can you send me your MOD_nvg.hlsl file and I will take a look.
