Hornet Interior Lights

[DDSSTT]

I've seen a few different topics that the console lights and instrument lights on an American Hornet are White and not Green, and on a Spanish Hornet they are Amber... Has anyone been able to customize the color? I cannot find the location that defines the color.

I have never seen a picture of a Hornet with green lighting, I wonder where ED got that from.

Probably modelling an NVG-compatible cockpit.

I presume your putt he finger on it, thinking ahead with upcoming NVG, inclising NVIS upgrades sounds like the reason it's green.

I can't read a thing with the NVG on in VR. It's just all blurry.

My guess is, the NVIS is not to allow you to read, but not to blind you with bright lights as green light are dimmer and allow you to read gauge at night with lights without the NVG. As pointed in many threads about NVG'S, the NVG in DCS are made/set for infinity, sharp objet at the distance and blured close objets, unfortunately for us in VR, the NVG takes the entire screens/eyes, so we can'T look beblow the NVG sight area like on normal monitors.

Traditional NVG goggles are donned and focused to infinity, so you’d never be able to read inside the pit (nor would you want to have lighting up high). Normally a pilot would peak out under the goggles.

 

No idea if the Hornet has a higher tech NVG system or not, though?
