Revelation Posted July 7, 2020 Posted July 7, 2020 Could be modeling some PVS-20s? That would be something else. Win 10 Pro 64Bit | 49" UWHD AOC 5120x1440p | AMD 5900x | 64Gb DDR4 | RX 6900XT
Sandman1330 Posted July 9, 2020 Posted July 9, 2020 Maybe a night vision HUD? We use them and it greatly increases situational awareness, it clips on the NVG tube and adds a look through screen that provides key flight data. Kind of like a HMCS without the positional tracking.

sirrah Posted July 9, 2020 Author Posted July 9, 2020 Could be modeling some PVS-20s? That would be something else. I'm not familiar with this and Wiki is kinda confined on info. Could you explain what's unique about this PVS-20? Do you mean, night vision in one eye only?

notproplayer3 Posted July 9, 2020 Posted July 9, 2020 Correctly implemented thermal imaging system? Probably not since ED has stated they are working on it and thermal imaging really is an issue of the core game. Full fidelity su27/mig29 ?

Jester986 Posted July 9, 2020 Posted July 9, 2020 Pretty sure the Kiowa doesn't have any kind of hud?
Coota0 Posted July 9, 2020 Posted July 9, 2020 Pretty sure the Kiowa doesn't have any kind of hud? Two types of HUDs on a KW, kind of. The first was way before my time, apparently it could be hung from a bracket on the cross beam, in front of the each crew member. I have no idea what symbology was in it or anything. Every Kiowa I flew had the mounts ground off. Type two was the an attachment for the goggles, we called it an ODA, but I can't remember what ODA stood for. It would fix over the NVG tube and display flight data, pitch ladder, airspeed, altitude, etc. I wasn't a fan, I knew some pilots that liked it, some didn't. Oddly enough I really like the one on the Blackhawk. That's the only HUD like devices on a Kiowa. Edit: ODA is Optical Display Attachment

Coota0 Posted July 10, 2020 Posted July 10, 2020 (edited) ODA is what i was talking about. Kinda like this AVS-7 hud for fast movers. That's the older model of what we use on the Blackhawk. I like the newer one better, that long tube along the right side is gone. I read somewhere something about PDU / Pilot Display Unit (https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=4348166#post4348166). Is that the same as ODA? Might be? I did a google search and came up with this, it looks like the one we used. Maybe two versions of the same thing with different names? That happens a lot or maybe we just called it something different than the actual name. https://duotechservices.com/repairing-oh-58-sight-unit-of-helmet-mounted-display-hmd Edited July 10, 2020 by Coota0 Forgot the link

Quadg Posted July 11, 2020 Posted July 11, 2020 is this the NVG HUD implicated in the 2018 night time crash of an F/A 18 and KC-130 tanker near japan? apparently the data can invert which really throws off the pilot. https://www.propublica.org/article/marines-hornet-squadron-242-crash-pacific-resilard My Rig: AM5 7950X, 32GB DDR5 6000, M2 SSD, EVGA 1080 Superclocked, Warthog Throttle and Stick, MFG Crosswinds, Oculus Rift.

There is a switch to identify if you have it on your left or right eye, if you have it on the left eye and the switch is on right, everything is inverted.
barundus Posted July 12, 2020 Posted July 12, 2020 Loved the ODA. Big benefit to keeping your head up and outside when flying NVGs

Southernbear Posted July 14, 2020 Posted July 14, 2020 HOPEFULLY it means we might get you know...better NVGs than god damn Gen 1 Monocular... like pretty much every BLUEFOR aircraft should be using Gen 2 or 3 but for some reason ED changed NVGs and gave us only a Gen 1 for ages...its almost unusable in some a lot of lighting conditions.

Um...Firstly, DCS doesn't model that level of detail with NVG's. Secondly the only gen1 NVG's that were ever used to my knowledge were used by the russians on Mi24's (not fast jets) and they are terrible. And thirdly, if anything what we have in DCS look gen3 ish gogs with magically adjustable gain levels that the real ones don't have.
