Night Vision oddity

I hope I'm not going to embarrass myself here, but here goes... I've been away for some weeks and arrived back to a couple of updates so I'm unsure if the following issue is due to a bug in the update or me being completely ignorant in the past. Bear with me!

When I select NVS Mode Norm and tilt my head (roll) the horizon moves with me, as it does in Fixed Mode. If I move my head in laterally (yaw) or vertically (pitch) it behaves normally. Please tell me it hasn't always been like this and I've simply failed to notice 😬

Hello @Kh4. What you are seeing is correct. The AH-64 IHADSS does not have the ability to track the crewmember helmet orientation in roll; only pitch and yaw. As a result, the symbology and video underlay will not be roll-stabilized to the horizon if you tilt your head.

This was indeed changed with the latest patch (you can reference the changelog). I use TrackIR and have the roll axis set to a 1:1 roll ratio since enhanced roll with headtracking really isn't needed like pitch and yaw.

Aha! Fascinating. Thankyou for the info, I missed it in the changelog. I also forget to mention that I am using VR. Thanks again 🙂

Yeah, I only brought up TrackIR because it exacerbates the effect compared to the VR experience, since all head rotations are at an increased ratio (if you use the default curves of course).
