What?? I mean, nice to have night vision, but... doesn't he already have night vision for flying in the dark with the monocle and PNVS ?! Am I missing something? I didn't think the bino night goggles were used in the Apache... Or is the binos just for emergency battle redundancy, in case the PNVS and or monocle fails during a flight, can still manage to get to a FARP / safety? Kinda confused by that, any real-world 'Pache pilots weigh in on this? Edited March 17, 2022 by Rick50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunny Clark Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Casmo talked about this in one of his preview videos I think. Or it may have been the Apache episode of the FPP, I can't recall exactly. Sometimes NVGs are nice because both pilots can't use PNVS at the same time and the TADS is not the best night vision system for just looking around. More importantly I think, both TADS and PNVS are thermal camera systems, so they can't see IR markers. If they want to spot an IR laser or strobe from another aircraft or ground troops, they need to use NVGs. You can't use both at the same time. To look through NVGs you fold the IHADSS monocle off to the side. 1 Oil In The Water Hornet Campaign.

Rick50 Posted March 18, 2022 Author Share Posted March 18, 2022 (edited) Ah, makes perfect sense! Thanks! Yea, not being able to see IR light sources might make it difficult to see FARP's, friendly ground units, individual friendly troops... or even IR laser designators from ground troops...

viperBAT46 DTF46 Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 I'm having trouble finding the key for changing the thermal colors in the monacle... flying around in the day with the monacle on green nv lol.. is it within the PNVS settings? Like WH or BH instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
