SandMan23 Posted July 8, 2018 Posted July 8, 2018 Any idea of a timeline for NVG implementation? Would be nice to be able to perform night ops in the Hornet. Thanks,
skouras Posted July 8, 2018 Posted July 8, 2018 all we need is NVG and a TGP [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]W10(64bit)Asus Rog Strix Z370-F - i7 8700K - Dark Rock Pro 4 - 16 giga ram Corsair vengeance 3000 - MSI RTX 2070 Super - Asus Rog Phobeus soundcard - Z906 Surround speaker - Track ir5 - HOTAS Warthog
fmedges Posted July 9, 2018 Posted July 9, 2018 I was listening to the fighter pilot podcast and they talked about strafing runs with nvg’s. The guy that said it was a single seat pilot. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Allied Air Command Website | Allied Air Command Discord
CHSStarKiller Posted July 9, 2018 Posted July 9, 2018 Yes, they most def wear them ASUS ROG Strix Helios Case - ASUS AM4 ROG Strix X-570E MB - AMD Ryzen 5 3600 - 64 GB DDR4 3200 G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series - ASUS DualGeForce GTX 1070 - SSD 2x 1TB - HDD 10 TB - Windows 10 Home - Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS - Thrustmaster TPR Pedels - TrackIR
104th_Maverick Posted July 9, 2018 Posted July 9, 2018 Both wear them Trev. Hornet / Rhino drivers / WSO/ EWO wear JHMCS now which has integrated NVG.

RuskyV Posted July 9, 2018 Posted July 9, 2018 As long as they dont use that horrible monocle setup like they seem have for the harrier then it will be awsome. That monocle setup is just plain awful for VR..

That monocle setup is just plain awful for VR.. Wearing dual tubes like PVS 15’s or 9’s, for example still gives you that monocular view.

RuskyV Posted July 11, 2018 Posted July 11, 2018 Agreed but its across both eyes which solves an issue in VR, the problem is there is no way in VR to select which eye you want to use for a monocle setup. Default sits over your left eye only and this is no good if your right eye dominant.
Mustang Posted July 11, 2018 Posted July 11, 2018 You can use the NVGs with the Hornet already, download the attachment below and drop the Mods folder into DCS (passes IC) The required keyboard inputs are N - on/off, brightness adj - pgup/pgdown.FA-18C NVGs.zip

Doum76 Posted July 15, 2018 Posted July 15, 2018 (edited) overwrite existing Files?? i'D say just wait, it's been shown in this week's video it's done, just not sure which patch it'll be, next one or the next after, but in any cases, i wouldn't play with this mod anymore, anyways on my side since 2-3 patches ago, this mod made my game crash as i hop in the Hornet, so i'll just wait till the real NVG comes out. But if you plan to, i'D recommend, if you don'T do it reguarly, simply save all your controls profiles for each type (stick, throttle if sepearated from the stick), rudder, keyboard before playing with this module, so if it resets your bindings, simply reload profiles, so no issues for this.

Banzaiib Posted July 16, 2018 Posted July 16, 2018 I use that mod in the F-18, and it's awesome, except you can't read anything in the cockpit. Which was exactly what Wags showed in his video. I've worn PVS-15's, and they can focus pretty close.
Terrificfool Posted July 16, 2018 Posted July 16, 2018 Do AN/PVS-15s automatically focus? From looking at them online it appears that you have to manually adjust the focus?

Oban Posted July 18, 2018 Posted July 18, 2018 according to other pilots they prefer NOT to wear NVG's for night landing, as they lose depth perspective. AMD Ryzen 9 7845HX with Radeon Graphics 3.00 GHz 32 GB RAM 2 TB SSD RTX 4070 8GB Windows 11 64 bit

captflyby Posted July 18, 2018 Posted July 18, 2018 NVG good for ground operations. I do not believe I like them for carrier landings. NVG are out now in DCS with this update 07-18-2018

Oban Posted July 19, 2018 Posted July 19, 2018 It depends on how you've set the focus on real NVG's, the depiction is accurate. NVG's don't have a wide FOV.

BSS_Sniper Posted July 19, 2018 Posted July 19, 2018 Are the NVG supposed to be blurry inside the cockpit? inside the NVG is blurry but just outside the lense its nice and sharp. i can see it in the image above You have NVGs to focus at specific distances, up close or infinity or in between, but not both/everything at once. You really shouldn't be using the NVG's to look at instruments in the cockpit anyway, you look under them.

From looking at them online it appears that you have to manually adjust the focus? 15's, 7's, 14's and 9's are the ones I've used and I've never seen or heard of an auto focus. You focus for a specific distance, usually infinity, unless you're trying to read a map.

But it is good anyway You sure you didn't forgot to wipe clean a little your NVG's lens before taking off as they were stored for a while for the Hornet, might had gathered dust? :P My download takes for ever, started this evening around 8:30 PM, now time to get to bed and still going at 1:15 AM or so, guess i'll try these tomorow morning, will tell you how they turn on my side.
