NAVFlir doesn't work?

[Teccie]

Hey folks,

 

I've searched all the web, but I can't get the NavFlir to work... 

I see the Flir on the right MFD, Hud is set to Night, and when I press SS Down one time (yes, not forward, but down, the same one to call the TPod with double), I see the Hud changing brightness, but I don't see the flir. SSS Down toggles this 'brightness' effect on the Hud, but I don't see anything... Any suggestions?

Check out Chuck's Guide. Always a fantastic resource.

I'm about to jump into the Harrier and I'll see what I see, but I know I've had a bit of hit and miss with the HUD FLIR in the past.

Just gave it a shot and it fired up right away. But the FLIR brightness is tied to the HUD brightness. if you turn the HUD brightness down the FLIR goes down as well.

 

FLIR button behind the stick on, night switch on for the HUD, FLIR active on my right MFD, and SSS down and there it was. 

 

Have faith, my brother, if I can get it working anyone can.

Many thanks for checking! I'll give it another whirl tomorrow.. I'll try messing around with the Hud brightness knobs as well, see if that helps things.

 

Otherwise.. maybe it's a graphics card/driver issue perhaps. Anyway, I'll check first

Also try playing with the "video" brightness and contrast knobs to the right of the day/night switch for the hud. That caught me the first time. When you're hud is dimmed as you describe, you are in the correct mode. And of course, it has to be somewhat dark outside to see the effect.

Ill check those as well, somewhere between the christmas festivities. Thanks for the help and happy holidays!

Got it working! The trick was turning DOWN the video contrast/brightness a bit. I had turned them all the way up, which ends up in a black image apparantly. Thanks for the help!
