It would be useful to have a spectator, and an outside of cockpit night vision option/key, so one could assess damage or where ordinance landed when 'in-game'.

An option to have a general night vision mode in spectator mode for assessing damage or position of battlefield assest.

So I can't reliably fly at night, not because idk how to navigate with instruments but because my entire screen randomly goes black to the point that i can't see the instruments. I actually don't mind flying at night and can do case 3 recoveries in the Hornet and Tomcat, but when I'm on final to the carrier and looking between instruments and the HUD and all of a sudden I randomly can't see literally anything in the cockpit, that's a bad time. This has also gotten me killed while trying to lock someone on the Radar at night and my screen goes black to the point I can't see the radar anymore. I haven't been able to pinpoint what specifically causes it. but it appears to be an issue with my game trying to balance contrast between the cockpit and the pitch black exterior of the jet This has happened in the Hornet, Tomcat, and the Apache. Both in multiplayer and campaign missions(both default and DLC campaigns), and has happened on the Georgia map and the Persian Gulf map. I will say that it happens the most in the Hornet on Hoggit's GAW, but that is mostly because that is my primary jet and multiplayer server. I attached a Track file from the last time it happened. I hope the track file isn't too large. it took a few minutes of flight for it to occur, but it happens pretty reliably, although seemingly random to me as far as the cause goes, every time I fly at night. If anyone has any tips or has experienced this please chime in. I really love DCS and don't want to be restricted to daytime servers because I can't see at night. Note, I have the Steam version running the Open Beta MT preview. it should be noted that this has occurred on stable version as well as non multi-threading in both 2k and 1080p resolutions.

Hello, I just installed new version 2.9 of DCS World. LLTV Mercury Pod stopped working after that. Facts: 1. I play Steam Edition in MT mode. Before 2.9 everything worked just fine. 2. I tested LLTV Mercury Pod bug in both 2.9 Steam and Standard. The bug is confirmed to be existing in both. Please register the issue and if possible provide a temporary workaround as any night missions with Su-25T are none-playable. Thanks,

I don't know when this bug appeared, but NVGs are misaligned to the main view. It's very disorienting. I need to move the camera to the right slightly to see through the HUD. KA-50: Mirage-2000C:

Hello friends, Awhile back I had the opportunity to test and help another flight simulation project. That project had VR at its core and the developers were keenly interested in tester feedback. My suggestions to improve it were mainly centered around the need for a night vision friendly color palette used on the menus, interface screens/boxes and other non-flying parts of the UI. I see this lacking in DCS and I'd bet it's a simple - hopefully - matter to improve. At present, one can set their missions to take place in the dead of the dark night. When in VR, one's eyes quickly adjust to the low lighting conditions; if you go in the actual real life condition of low light it happens more quickly. After some time goes by your eyes think it's night and your eyes become very light sensitive. But then you have to open a menu for something and BAMMO! You get hit with the bright menus...it's not very comfortable. I'm writing to advocate for an improvement to the DCS UI which has options for various night vision color schemes. Red is a good one, and the overall lighting levels of the menus should be adjusted. While I won't list some of the VR games that have low-light-friendly configurations, they are out there and peeps like them. Additionally, the flat screeners can benefit as well since I am sure a few of them fly at real and game nighttime, so it works for everyone...a WIN WIN! Thanks for reading!
