2.5.1 VR NVG - left eye only

[Mr_sukebe]

Sorry, not sure if this is Harrier specific, but I’m only getting NVG for my left eye in VR in 2.5.1. Works fine in 2.5.0

I have this too :(

...i don't see the problem here. this is exactly how a monocular NVG system works.

 

see something too dark for the naked eye? use your left eye. see something too bright for your NVG? use your right eye. it's a better system than having to toggle it off and on.

Haven't tested it but yup, my monocular I wore in Afghanistan was the exact same :)

An option in the settings would be a nice thing to have, so you could select between the old and new. However, a monocular NVG system shouldn't take long for someone to get used to, and this isn't really the place to be discussing adding new options to the game, so I won't drag this topic on.

Except it isn’t realistic with the type of NVGs used in combat aircraft.

The NVG is part of the game engine core mechanics and is under control of ED, the module producers don't have any input or control over that. The engine lighting is being tweaked at the moment to fix some night light issues and NVG clearly is caught up in this.

Sorry chaps, looks like I opened this in the wrong sub forum. Apparently it affects a number of aircraft and there’s another thread tracking it
