Slippery Pete Posted November 23, 2008 Posted November 23, 2008 Proper nights is one of the best additions to the engine. You might want to turn off those interior lights when using NVGs though, you'll see much better.
Francous Posted November 23, 2008 Author Posted November 23, 2008 LOL.. I discovered by clicking the buttons ! ;) like a kid touching everything..
mc_smile Posted November 23, 2008 Posted November 23, 2008 Indeed night missions are the gem!

leafer Posted November 23, 2008 Posted November 23, 2008 Is the purpleish part of the instrument what you're seeing out the bottom of the NVG? ED have been taking my money since 1995. :P
AlphaOneSix Posted November 23, 2008 Posted November 23, 2008 Is the purpleish part of the instrument what you're seeing out the bottom of the NVG? No, that's the blue cockpit lighting. Most of the cockpit lighting is NVG-compatible, so you can leave it on and it won't affect your NVG's, but a few instruments (ADI, I think) and the Shkval screen have white light and will create glare. You can't read cockpit instruments under goggles anyway, everything in the cockpit would be competely out of focus and unreadable, so you look "under" the goggles to see the instruments inside the cockpit. Unlike your eyes, NVGs don't auto-focus, so you have to focus them for looking outside of the aircraft into the distance. This means that everything close up will be out of focus. I have a lot of NVG time, and I happen to have a set of AN/AVS-6(V)3 in my room at the moment, so I turned off the lights and took a picture of my desk. The goggles are focused for when I'm flying, and as you can see, there is no way you would be able to read your instruments by looking directly at them through the goggles, so you have to look under them at the instruments, which is why NVG-compatible lighting is so important, otherwise the glare is blinding.
mc_smile Posted November 23, 2008 Posted November 23, 2008 Tried night missions several times. Shkval screen when activated is fully readable through NVG It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice © Scooter Intel Core i7 8700K, Gigabyte Z370 AORUS Gaming 5, 32Gb DDR4 CORSAIR Vengeance LPX 3200MHz, Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2080Ti Extreme, VKB Gunfighter MkII + TM HOTAS Warthog + TM MFD Panels, TrackIR5
Maverick-GER- Posted November 23, 2008 Posted November 23, 2008 well the only things that are really blinding is abris if it is turned on (i mean in nav mode or map mode) and the hud is sometimes very hard to read [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] F-14 Tomcat Rest in Peace (and hopefully get reborn in DCS!)

mc_smile Posted November 23, 2008 Posted November 23, 2008 You can switch HUD to night mode or udjust it's brightness It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice © Scooter Intel Core i7 8700K, Gigabyte Z370 AORUS Gaming 5, 32Gb DDR4 CORSAIR Vengeance LPX 3200MHz, Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2080Ti Extreme, VKB Gunfighter MkII + TM HOTAS Warthog + TM MFD Panels, TrackIR5
Maverick-GER- Posted November 23, 2008 Posted November 23, 2008 Well i only flew at night fo rmaybe 20 minutes alltogether =) in standard brightness hud is pretty much unreadable in day or night mode. Sure i think you could fix hud AND abris issue with changing the brightness on both [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] F-14 Tomcat Rest in Peace (and hopefully get reborn in DCS!)
