set hdu brightness to zero How to: Disable video overlay for CPG when TADS selected sight

[FalcoGer]

If you want to use the TADS screen but still use your helmet sight for targeting and you find the video overlay irritating, you can turn it off like so:

1. Select HMD as sight
2. On the TEDAC, press the BRT rocker switch down a few times
3. Select TADS as sight
4. ???
5. Profit!

You can now set the acquisition source to GHS and slave your tads to where you are looking, and even use the gun through your TADS which is slaved to your helmet (remember to lase).

Be aware that HMD symbology is a mirror of the TADS', if you have an acquisition source selected then the dashed cross will be in reference to your TADS line of sight, not your helmet. You will also not get the direct-to symbol, this merely helps with visual targeting.

Also if you want your NVS up, you need to bring the brightness back when HMD is the selected sight.

If you select the TADS as active sight the brightness and contrast rockers adjust the TADS, if the HMD is selected then it will adjust the HMD. I am not sure what is adjusted with FCR as the selected sight.

Or press I (i) to hide the monocle, way easier !

The point is that you can still use the monocle for slaving the TADS to your LOS. With it off, it will be difficult to judge the center.

Good question. It seems to pop up even if the NVS mode switch is off, which doesn't make sense to me. Bug?
