VR Flight Guy in PJ Pants Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Just checking: is it because of OB or the mod, the ground is pitch black like a silhouette?

FST_Bearcat Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 I am using the last version or the Open beta of DCS and this mod is working fine for me. No issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VR Flight Guy in PJ Pants Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 The mod is working right, just that DCS is not -- the ground is just pitch dark, I cannot see anything through NVG except the horizon and the man-made lights...

crispy12 Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Since the last update, moonlight makes a big difference. Try setting half or full moon, then the NVG's will work very well. This is not a FLIR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STS.Chunky Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 (edited) I confirm this, 3/4 moon was too much for my test so I went with new moon next which is just impossible to use your NVG to see land. Edited July 27, 2021 by STS.Chunky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heloguy Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 I know in the original post, he says no way to change the color, but I'm wondering if since then, anyone has found a way. As an example, the Ka-50 has white phosphorous, and the UH-1 has green. Would be nice to be able to change other A/C NVGs to white and vice versa to simulate wearing different types in different airframes. i9 12900k @ 4.9ghz, 32gb RAM Nvidia RTX 3090 Windows 11 x64 Valve Index Brunner CLS-E w/RS F16GRH, Virpil TCS Rotor Plus Collective, BRD F1 Pedals, WH Throttle, FSSB R3 w/WH Grip, PointCTRL v1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandan Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 I hope that the night vision function can also be realized from the external perspective when making videos. What are the good methods? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Actual Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 (edited) I fly and teach Military on ANVIS 9s IRL and we will not train guys initially if the moon is less than 30% or 30 degrees azimuth. You just don't see the ground in 8/8 dark until about 100'. The variation with moon illumination is correct but certainly a tad too severe from what I've experienced. In zero illum I should still be able to see enough to come to the hover. Workarounds? Use the taxi/landing/searchlights when close to the ground (legit but not tactical), Increase the gamma in your DCS Graphics settings (experiment 'til you get it - will probably require an example of what the minimum picture should look like - I get it; and that would depend on the goggs... ) Or set a date with just enough illum to be accurate. I will have a play with it and let you know what I find. Another thing to keep in mind though... the moon rises and sets, so picking a date for the moon is one thing, but a full moon will do you little good on the far side of the planet! A great iOS app for this (free) is simply called 'Moon' - with that app you can choose a date and time for the illumination you want. It will give you the percentage illumination and azimuth (negative figures mean the moon is over the horizon and not therefore visible) I'll get back on what I can find. Hopefully an ideal min. illum for a MOST realistic rendition. BREAK BREAK Tacca Thanks SO MUCH for this mate! Absolutely awesome. The ONLY Sim package that I am aware of that lets you fly appropriately on NVGs whilst peering under to a sharp instrument panel. I am so grateful!

Raven Actual Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 OK. 30% would seem to be the minimum moon illumination for a good effect. Note that this has nothing to do with the mod! Even on zero illum the buildings, vehicles etc are perfect. Just the ground textures seem to blackout. In Helos you can use the Search light to good effect well before you can see the visible light, which is realistic - just pretend it is an IR search light Gamma only enhanced the issue, same as gain. The app mentioned above works really well. I would recommend minimum 30% illumination and remember that cloudy skies will make a big difference too. Training? 30% and clear skies. Good luck and keep that head moving 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VR Flight Guy in PJ Pants Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Noted that in the latest OB, the NVG renders one circle for each eye in VR, so that it becomes binocular. It looks kinda "interesting". VR Flight Guy in PJ Pants -- this is how I fly.

VR Flight Guy in PJ Pants Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 (hands up) not that I am complaining, this is the still best NVG mod I can find.

Japo32 Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 This is broken with latest update 2.7.11.21408 @tacca could you please update it. IT is because the NVD_HDR.fx file, but I don't know how to fix it, even maybe that is not the culprit and only is another file that is loaded in that NVD_HDR File. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
