confusing with pnvs TADS/PNVS is allways docked

[Moxica]

I have tried to see the TADS/PNVS move when slewing TDS.
Never seen it.
Even when I look at a target through TADS, it looks like it is still tucked in.
Is it able to move in the sim?

The top part you see stowed is the pilot's PNVS. The CPG one is underneath.
The pilot's will unstow when he turns the PNVS on for his monocle.

cant reproduce, always worked for me.

TADS and PNVS both move (swivel) when in use.

AFAIK and from my testing PNVS will be in a "stowed" position though, until selected by a crewmember via the NVS MODE switch. (TADS can also go to stow mode when deactivated via WPN page -> UTIL -> TADS stow or TADS power off)

From the quick start manual:

Zitat

NVS MODE. Sets the operational mode of the selected night vision system (NVS).
The selected NVS is set using the NVS SELECT switch on the collective. (see Collective Controls)

• OFF. Stows the selected NVS.
• NORM. Commands the selected NVS to IHADSS LOS (line of sight).
• FIXED. Commands the selected NVS to fixed forward at -4.9° in elevation.

 

@Dannyvandelft

TADS can also be used by the Pilot as NVS "source", on the collective control. You will "take it away" from the CPG though. CPG can also use the PNVS as NVS while using TADS via the TEDAC

@Kharm yeah I know. I wanted to keep it simple lol since 99% of the time the pilot would use the "top" PNVS.
