Anybody figure out a way to turn the HUD brightness up and down??

[tkid]

Or maybe is there a night mode for the M2000C HUD, im currently using NVG and it is way too bright lol Im sure there is a way to edit the .lua's but I dont know how to lol Thanks guys.

[YoYo]

It isnt work yet.

[Azrayen]

im currently using NVG

Do as you want, but IRL no NVGs on M-2000C.

I don't agree with you, since june 2015 pilots of EC 2/5 "Ile de France" have been formed to use NVG on the M2000C, they have been already formed during the 90's but French Air Force doesn't have enough NVG to equip all squadrons. Since january 2016, some Mirage 2000C of EC 2/5 performed night attack in Irak to replace M2000N of the fighter squadron 2/4 "La Fayette" who come back to France.

Very nice!

+1

[jojo]

+1 to what ?

 

As far as I know, Mirage 2000 C were deployed in Niamey, Niger, to team with Mirage 2000 D.

 

In January, when Mirage 2000 N left Jordany to go back home, Mirage 2000 D left Niamey and some more deployed to replace Mirage 2000 N in Jordany.

 

No Mirage 2000 C night bombing in Irak...

Yeah sorry I've mistaken the french operations around the world, what I want to say is since January 2016 (and early 90's) french pilots of M2000C can use NVG and this allow night CAS performed by M2000C's .

I stand corrected :)

 

But it's very recent. Wasn't the cockpit upgraded? Because AFAIK Razbam is making a S5, not a 2015 aircraft (S5-2C with perhaps more enhancements).

 

For example the standard alarm panel is too bright for NVGs, M-2000D have a dimmed one for quite some time.

[jojo]

Red light is blinding for NVG.

 

So if you want to get it right, you need to change cockpit lighting color from red to green, and change all warning lights too...

 

It's just my 2 cents, but in 30 years of services, the use of NVG on Mirage 2000 C remain anecdotic.

[Azrayen]

Back to the original question:

There is a roller left of the HUD on/off button that is for the HUD brightness. IIRC this is not implemented in DCS (yet, I guess).

No so recent, if you read some french magazine like "Air&Cosmos", they said that NVG were introduced in M2000C since the 90's but pilots doesn't use it 'cause they doesn't have enough NVG's to equip all squadrons.

I do from times to times.

The fact is I too often pick up errors on topics I'm familiar with to blankly trust what they write.:angel:

 

In this particular case, what they wrote comes in contradiction with:

- discussions with various crews

- the absence of NVG-compatible cockpit (vs M-2000D for example)

 

Sure, it could be done, but with serious limitations.

The number of available goggles is not the only parameter.

The usefullness of those comes to play, too: you more/less don't need them for air to air duties, and that's mostly what the Cs did most of their career (same argument gives no NVG on -5F too).

[Enduro14]

Well either way if they add them add them if not its mod able and is a very useful tool for AG at night and also will give you an advantage in a knife fight at night.

[Skitter]

Could be potentially very handy for CAS (spotting IR pointers at night).

[Eddie]

...give you an advantage in a knife fight at night.

 

Unless ED or RAZBAM simulate the extra strain under G loading that NVGs cause, then they'd be a significant hindrance. ;)

 

There is a reason NVGs aren't often used during A/A sorties by anyone, and why pilots can removing them from their helmets and stow them away.

 

And as has already been mentioned, the cockpit isn't NVG compatible, so if you have cockpit lighting on it should bloom out your NVGs, and without the cockpit lighting you won't be able to read anything inside the cockpit either.

Theirs ways to mitigate not being able to see certain things under nvgs. We have had heli crews of old aircraft not "nvg" certified pop an IR chemlight to act as a small light source in the pit. To be more specific obviously you dont use the whole Chem Light you leave it in the packaging but have a small hole in packaging to allow just the right ammount of illumination. One thing we dont have proper in DCS is the ambient lighting as that would help just as it does in reality. The IR flood on the nvg itself not very useful as it will cause a very blinding reflection in the windscreen. Good to know about the G issues not something i thought of as im more of a rotorwing guy mindset and a ground dude for day job. Thanks for correcting me on that. I agree though we should not have Official addition of NVG in the m2000c unless they have the proper panel backlighting.
