DCS ST - Mercury pod display is pitch black.


Recommended Posts

I understand the pod was changed to be more like a "night vision" pod and not an infra-red camera, but it doesn't seem to work at all now, even during a full moon, and even during the day.

I haven't used this device in a while don't know which specific update messed this up, but it might just be on my end.

Last I knew, it was only working with the MT version of the DCS exe. Is that the version of the Open Beta you’re using? You’re seeing what I was seeing before I switched to the multi-thread version.

You're right. It works on the MT version.

I still think it's weird for something like this to not be working on the "stable" normal version.

The log says otherwise:

This is how you can run MT in Steam:

You are correct, that was super confusing considering I was going into the bin-mt folder and launching the exe file from there.

I am now choosing MT Preview in Steam and it works.

Thanks for that!

Hello, I'm fairly new to DCS, about 100 hours playtime. However, since the beginning of my adventure I was struggling with Su25t's night vision pod (Mercury Low Light Television). After turning it on the screen is completely black as the title says. No matter where you point it. I know it's for night only, but checked it out also during day. Same problem. The only exception being the explosions, those can be seen, but anything else - screen fully black. I'm attaching screenshots of my laptop settings as well as comparasion between Shkval and Mercury both during night and day. Just in case someone was wondering, Shkval works prefectly. Also I checked it on two different screens (pc and laptop). Has anyone else met with this problem and has knowledge how to solve it?

  • Flappie changed the title to DCS ST - Mercury pod display is pitch black.

Exactly the same thing is happening.
Also, in the Steam version, this is a phenomenon that cannot be avoided in 2D, VR, or VR MT. At the moment, it seems to only work with the stable version of MT.
