TxSpur Posted July 25, 2024 Posted July 25, 2024 Ok guys, help me out as I have to be missing something somewhere. Basically, every time I fly at night, I can't get the MMS to come up, it's just a black screen. I know there is something I have to be missing to set it up for night vs day. Someone please enlighten me!
NeedzWD40 Posted July 25, 2024 Posted July 25, 2024 Make sure you're selecting FLIR. It defaults to TV when unstowed.
TxSpur Posted July 25, 2024 Author Posted July 25, 2024 (edited) Where do I find that at? I'm at a complete loss? Thats the same as TIS right but its really washed out and when I invert its super dark. Edited July 25, 2024 by TxSpur
GrEaSeLiTeNiN Posted July 25, 2024 Posted July 25, 2024 You have to adjust the video gain and level switch-like controls found on the left of the MMS panel (CPG side) after selecting TIS (key bind from CPG cyclic). You can also switch to green mode (NVG) using the knob at the bottom left of the MMS display if that helps.

TxSpur Posted July 25, 2024 Author Posted July 25, 2024 Thanks guys. Yeah there was a few things I was fighting with before I finally got it to to work. The first issue I realized that you have to left and right click the brightness and contrast knobs to get them to work. I was trying to manipulate them by left clicking the plus and minus each. Also realized I had to key bind the TV/TIS mode on the copilot side. Anyway, all is good now.
GrEaSeLiTeNiN Posted July 26, 2024 Posted July 26, 2024 TIS in daytime is helpful too when adjusted right. Without it, it can be hard to locate targets in the MMS esp in built up or forested areas.

I love the TIS just about exclusively unless I'm trying to identify details of something I'm looking at, then I will use the TV. TIS is legit, day and night though. I had a night flight on Grayflag and the airspace was clear, so I was able to climb to 3 or 4 thousand feet. I looked through the TIS and all I saw was target after target, just about as far as the camera could see. I stopped marking targets at a dozen. 1
