This is NVG_SIZE at 0.9

This is at 0.1

Seems to work for both 2D and VR on my end.

The mod was updated yesterday for 2.9.  Did you update?

I don't know if it has issues with foveated rendering or any other DCS feature I'm not using.  If problem persists, try posting your system spec and settings to find the common setting between anyone having same issue.

I updated to 2.9 of course. No fullscreen with these settings: float NVG_SIZE = 0.1; //Taz1004 NVG size.  Default is 1.  Higher is smaller

My specs: Pico4, 4090, 64GB ram, 7800x3d

Hello and thanks Taz1004 for this Mod. 1 issue I'm having tho is when in VR I am unable to adjust the size or position values. Always defaults to the same monocular. But in 2D if I change the size value to 0.0 it shows in full screen. Any way to get the full screen effect in VR? Running a G2 headset. Thanks!

For those who are in VR and the full screen setting is not working, I got it to work by modifying the below blue words in \Bazar\shaders\PostEffects\NVD_HDR.fx.

OLD:
technique10 Compose {
    pass P0 {
        SetPixelShader(CompileShader(ps_5_0, PS(false, false)));
        COMMON_PART
    }
    pass P1 {
        SetPixelShader(CompileShader(ps_5_0, PS(true, false)));
        COMMON_PART
    }
    pass P2
    {
        SetPixelShader(CompileShader(ps_5_0, PS(true, true)));
        COMMON_PART
    }
}

 

NEW:

technique10 Compose {
    pass P0 {
        SetPixelShader(CompileShader(ps_5_0, PS(false, false)));
        COMMON_PART
    }
    pass P1 {
        SetPixelShader(CompileShader(ps_5_0, PS(false, false)));
        COMMON_PART
    }
    pass P2
    {
        SetPixelShader(CompileShader(ps_5_0, PS(false, true)));
        COMMON_PART
    }
}

The 2 booleans that are changed from true to false represent whether or not to use the mask or not.  Not sure why VR uses a different one than 2D, but I just changed them all to false and it worked for me in VR.

Go back to vanilla NVGs, they work great with pimax crystal. 

You're right; I'm now on 2.9 and the "original" ones work flawless with DFR!

And... this mod does now too!?

-> Also, the NVGs look the same in every module, right? Because the original remind of Gen1 goggles, which is perfect for the old P-51, but tbh, in the F16 or 18 you should have gen3 or 4.

Is it possible to get the year you're flying in and change the values in this mod accordingly? I have to admit, I don't think so, as those files are loaded when starting the game, so aren't really variable, but maybe there's a way for a "new" mod, which makes the NVGs use different values for different modules or year you fly in 🙂

Or can we make it not break IC somehow?

Yep.  Had to turn off IC on the Hollo Pointe server for this

The other problem is, the way modding works, apparently, is that it can't just be added as an addon that overwrites the vanilla classes and values, so you have to reinstall every time the game updates.  Also not great.  Or maybe it can be done?

use a mod manager... and get into the habit of turning it off before you install updates and back on after you have updated

 

it also makes it easier to flow between ic and non-ic

I think I tried to use one and it was the most unintuitive bull<profanity> I've ever seen.  And I'm pretty good with computers.  The proper solution is for ED to make night vision not completely worthless.

Tried everything..Blur and noise can be adjusted but nothing yet with position and size. Not a big fan of flying with full screen NVG in VR with the above changes.. Feels like cheating lol

Love the Mod and have been using it for many months now.  I've recently gotten into MP and as discussed, there are many servers that won't allow me to join since my install now fails the IC.  Is there some work around here for someone not using (or even aware of) a mod manager?  Is there a way for me to go back and forth between a DCS install that uses the NVD mod and one that doesn't?  Thanks!

OVGmE or similar mod manager is what you need. You can easily enable or disable mods from DCS.

Thanks Tomeye and Wrecking crew.  I've downloaded OGVME and am starting to get familiar with it.  Before I get too far down the road, perhaps you could shed some light on a few items...

In the case of the NVD Mod on this thread - which I've already downloaded and copied over the existing (core DCS) Bazaar Shaders folders - how would I undo that so that I can once again pass the IC found on some of the MP servers?  Do I need to redownload DCS?  If so, what will happen to all my skins and aircraft mods?  Key bindings? Mission and campaign progress?

Is there a way to repair/restore the folder in question (so my install passes the IC), then redownload the NVG mod and enable it using OVGME?

Am I better served to download another version of DCS elsewhere on my hard drive?

Thank you!
