He means that IRL Mi-24P version we have does not have NVG, so DCS shouldn't have one too. He is big on realism, but not so big not to fly anymore if he gets killed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED Team BIGNEWY Posted January 11, 2022 ED Team Share Posted January 11, 2022 thanks for the context. The NVG's are correct for our Mi-24P, however the cockpit was not NVG friendly ( like ours now ), that was an upgrade as far as I am aware or in later versions. 1 Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

The NVG's are correct for our Mi-24P, however the cockpit was not NVG friendly ( like ours now ), that was an upgrade as far as I am aware or in later versions. I very much doubt anyone is flying a helo with NVG's in non NVG compatible cockpit, unless they are suicidal. Militaries and civilian organizations worldwide don't spend big bucks to make pits NVG compatible for no reason. If night flying with NVG's was a simple as strapping one on and pretending it was daytime aviation would be a far happier, cheaper, and safer place. But its not. As it stands your pit is using red lighting which is not compatible with NVG's, in fact its among the worst lighting to use for that purpose. Especially if your Mi-24 is an 80's version it absolutely shouldn't have NVG's as the Soviets didn't really have anything appropriate for the purpose since they were largely using gen0 NVG's for their head mounted NVG's. Here is a high level overview for you on lighting. https://www.consolite.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Basics-of-NVG-Lighting.pdf Honestly I'm not even sure what you are trying to say in your correct/not correct statement above. If there is a NVG compatible pit its gonna look totally different than the pit that is currently in the game. I.e. it will have "blueish/green" lighting like your F18/F16 pits for example. Also, whats up with the white output phosphor you guys seem to have in some of your NVG models. That is a very recent and very modern addition to NVG world and again is certainly not relevant to 90's or early 2000's systems.

StevanJ Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Here is a Russian Documentary that has been translated into English. Briefly, Its a 2 part Documentary that goes into great detail about the way in which the Mi24 was operated in the 80's during the Afghan war. Lets hope this puts the argument to rest once and for all.. Here is where it tells us how the Mi24 was equipped for the War.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this normal behavior? Yes, plenty of threads on using illumination rockets to help Petro see. I referenced you to my weapons guide earlier, it contains details on how to use the rockets, angles to shoot them, and best tactics to use ATGM with them, and their limitations If JTAC is present and can see targets, they can also send illumination. You can also have AI like Mi-8 use illumination bombs that last 3-4 minutes Its just a periscope, not a thermal or low light TV, Petro is just as blind in the night as you would be looking through a pair of binoculars Edited May 8, 2022 by AeriaGloria 1 Black Shark Den Squadron Member: We are open to new recruits, click here to check us out or apply to join! https://blacksharkden.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreadnought Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 I want to kick this concern alive again. In 2.8... the problem persists for me. While NVGs are on, Petrovich's UI acts as a light source, causing it to be bloomed and illegible. Similar to the posted images. It did work once, iirc, but I so far, I have not been able to replicate. I can do more testing when time permits, but I was at least wondering if this concern was still on the table for investigation? I use a Rift S and no shader/filter mods.

This is the way the petro sight has always worked for me in the hind with NVG. Didn't realise it was a bug. On a Quest 2, with and without mods.

The Hind shouldn't even have NVG's, and if you tried using them IRL the NVG would be fubared from all the unfiltered red light in the pit. 1 New hotness: I7 9700k 4.8ghz, 32gb ddr4, 2080ti, :joystick: TM Warthog.

Yeah thats realistic as I said. You can't really use NVG's with the sight very well. Even period US stuff had a seperate optical channel for NV intensified stuff. So petro functionally has no NVG when using the sight. New hotness: I7 9700k 4.8ghz, 32gb ddr4, 2080ti, :joystick: TM Warthog.
