El Chapo Posted December 17, 2022 Posted December 17, 2022 The recent additions to weather realism are great, and could be usefully pursued to the night sky. The thing that I miss the most: being able to watch galaxies and nebulae through NVGs! Once you've seen M31 galaxy or M42 nebulae through NVG, you don't look at the sky the same way anymore. It was particularly true on dark nights over cloud layers or in desert environments: night flight can then become true astronomy sessions. I'd be so happy to spot them through NVGs in DCS as well 2
RuskyV Posted December 29, 2022 Posted December 29, 2022 The star’s also need to have variation in brightness not only in size which also makes things look a little weird. But to the point your making, I think that it would be awesome to have more stellar object’s, who knows maybe even a feint shooting star every now and then, (maybe a few more through October and November). Not seen this done with any other simulation before, might be nice to have with more of these desert maps coming
SickSidewinder9 Posted January 11, 2023 Posted January 11, 2023 We don't even have an accurate star map of any kind yet. Which is really sad since OFP that (and things like commanding the ai to attach a particular target) in 2001. I also find NVG's and night flying to be almost completely useless and not a very good experience at all in DCS, which is a shame because I know what an important part it is for real combat flying.
Gun Jam Posted January 12, 2023 Posted January 12, 2023 Shouldn't water have better luminosity as well? It appears that water is nearly non reflective I can not set the gain high enough to illuminate the water. The land will be nearly completely washed out and the shoreline ends in a black void like the piece of dirt was floating in space. Based on experience it seems water should be more reflective than dirt and should be illuminated by NVG. Thoughts?

I have no meatspace experience with night vision, but logically, it would seem that yes, if there are light reflections on the water, they should show up in your NVG's. Moon, bioluminescence, artificial lights, etc. No idea about stars though. Do they reflect on water much at night?

We do have a star map that is correct for both time, place and direction. What kind of star map do you demand?
