Stratos Posted December 1, 2022 Posted December 1, 2022 When I have to fly at night I do not use the NVG as I cannot configure the cockpit properly and cannot see any of the dials on it, so I use the illumination rockets, but I'm curious, what do you guys use at night? I don't understand anything in russian except Davai Davai!
admiki Posted December 1, 2022 Posted December 1, 2022 What headset you have? I use NVGs for general flying. While cockpit is blurry, I can see general needle position for speed, VSI and radar alt. Any attack is unaided with illumination rockets.
AeriaGloria Posted December 2, 2022 Posted December 2, 2022 I usually cheat by raising gamma. But for accuracy I like them for orientation, but never figured out how to actually fight with them well. It’s just not designed for it. It’s nice when close to the ground at night…… and anything above minimum gain is unbearable Black Shark Den Squadron Member: We are open to new recruits, click here to check us out or apply to join! https://blacksharkden.com

Same for me, the numbers are impossible to read but if You know de dials You can at glance have the data You need only watching needle positions (apart for compass...). 1 https://www.youtube.com/user/garaganotube

AeriaGloria Posted December 2, 2022 Posted December 2, 2022 It is awesome, doing it yourself can be awkward. Doable, but awkward Black Shark Den Squadron Member: We are open to new recruits, click here to check us out or apply to join! https://blacksharkden.com

Need to try to memorize the needle positions and give it a try! I don't understand anything in russian except Davai Davai!

It works, but it’s still a pain 1 Black Shark Den Squadron Member: We are open to new recruits, click here to check us out or apply to join! https://blacksharkden.com

Deimos Posted December 4, 2022 Posted December 4, 2022 I turn the brightness/sensetivety of the NVG down. So i can see my cockpit without blinding instruments......but flying in the dark with that, makes no fun. Too blurry and fuzzy.

molevitch Posted December 6, 2022 Posted December 6, 2022 I just turn them on and off, and keep lowest gain. But I have NVG On/Off and Gain Up and Gain Down as Voice Attack commands.

lefuneste01 Posted December 10, 2022 Posted December 10, 2022 For people using VR, you can use my mod to reduce size of NVG and si be able to look below them (as in real life, for what I understand) : Intel i5 10400K @4.8 GHz, 3080ti, 32 GB RAM, Varjo Areo. I spend my time making 3dmigoto VR mods for BoS and DCS instead of flying, see https://www.patreon.com/lefuneste

DCS huey is from like 91 and plausibly had NVG's since its cockpit lighting is actually nvg compatible. New hotness: I7 9700k 4.8ghz, 32gb ddr4, 2080ti, :joystick: TM Warthog.

Razorback Posted March 14, 2023 Posted March 14, 2023 Just a simple question regarding the use of the NVG with the Hind in VR. When the NVG is used, it's pratically impossible to read something in the HUD when the Petrovitch window is activated. It's way too flashy in it even if the NVG is set with minimum brightness. Is there a possibility to decrease the brightness of Petrovitch' command window ? Thxxxx

Some people, like myself, don't have that problem. Disregard mirrors and moving map, it's some sort of clash with one mods I use and MT.
