tacca Posted May 8, 2019 Author Share Posted May 8, 2019 I seem to have stumbled upon a strange bug with this mod when using the CTLD JTAC with LASER and IR Pointer. Happened in and out of VR, and in multiple aircraft On a side note, I'm waiting on the next gen VR, when it comes out I've got no problem sending you my headset. Hey Shadow, Ill have a look when I get time but wont happen in the next couple of weeks sorry.

tacca Posted May 8, 2019 Author Share Posted May 8, 2019 Hello there.how can i unzoom it?NVG is so close and i see all time through it. Do you mean it is actually enlarging the image or is that the ring is too big or fullscreen? If it is the latter read the instructions in the first post.

First of all thank you very much for this excellent mod Tacca! :thumbup: I had something similar (large red blocks when lasers were involved). I deleted the /MaterialFactory/laserbeam.hlsl and this solved it for me. Also, it was the file failing IC for me, so since then I don't have a problem with IC and this mod anymore. Not quite sure what that modified file does but for now I can live without it. Maybe give it a try.

Hey Ams, thanks for the update. the laserbeam.hlsl was fixing a masking issue when using the IR laser beam. More details can be seen here: https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2546081&postcount=38 but basically while the laser should be visible inside the NVG but not outside of it (it is IR light so not visible to the naked eye). If deleting the laserbeam.hlsl fixes the flashing bug and you cant see the laser outside of the ring then ED have fixed/updated some of their code and its not needed anymore.:thumbup: Cheers Ultimate JSMGE Guide for DCS - Video Version ----------- Frenchy's NVG mod for DCS 1.5 and 2.0 ----------- Mirage 2000 photoshop livery templates ----------- Frenchy :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ams999 Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Hi Tacca, thanks for the explanation! Now that I know what the file is for I ran some tests and it seems nothing was changed in DCS. With the mod's standard oval NVG and without the laserbeam.hlsl the beam doesn't quite reach the edge of the NVG to the sides (pics 1+2) and reaches over the NVG to the bottom (pic 3), maybe still expecting the round shape of the unmodded NVG. This effect is fixed by your laserbeam.hlsl (4+5) but leads to weird effects (6). Hopefully, you can find a fix for that down the line! In all cases I can see the laser spot on the target outside the NVG (when the NVG is on) but that is the same in stock DCS, too.

Yeti-UK Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Resizing Need Help, I successfully reduced the height of the NVG goggle in the MOD so that I could see the instruments and cockpit ,FA-18, normally. The last update overwrote my settings and I cannot remember what I changed and where, all my efforts to re-produce have failed. Anyone offer help?

Yeti-UK Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 View Sizing Hi, Thanks for the reply but the edit makes no difference for me, screen is still all green. As I said earlier I have had them working correctly previously but now, since two updates ago, no editing seems to work. I have checked the file contents at both the OvGME source folder and also editied it in the programme file @ E:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Bazar\shaders\common both show the figures quoted above but I still have a full green screen in my Index. Can there be something else that is stopping that file being used? Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeti-UK Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Tacca NVG I did checked that, the view through the headset is the same on all three options 0,1 & 2 with the settings supplied in you previous message.

I must be doing something incorrectly as I have had them modded previously before updates. Don’t feel bad, I played around with trying to adjust settings for my rift s yesterday and. O matter what I adjusted it remained the same after installing each time. v303d Fighter Group Discord | Virtual 303d Fighter Group Website | v303rd Fighter Group Twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
20thBG_Blackwolf Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Tacca do you know for the VR how you would set it to be in just one eye? Just keep messing with the adjustments until it there?

Yeti-UK Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Hi All, Thanks for the help but the problem remains. I have replaced the MOD_nvg file with a "good" copy from another contributor and although I can edit and save the settings, within the file, it does not reduce the size of the NVG goggles in VR. I still have a full green screen regardless of the settings, when I go back to the file my edit remains good. Its very frustrating as I have had this working previously as I have stated before.

20thBG_Blackwolf Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Yeti you tested with Fargos? I can edit it but to me it seems as the VR is zoomed all the way up to the green ring. I had some success moving it out but not sure what else to do. BSD Discord , BSD Website If it doesn't hover, it just sucks and blows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
