Rabies Posted September 9 Posted September 9 Whilst wearing NVG ( in VR), Radar/baro altitude, torque and speed data are impossible to read on the VSD. I’ve switched the MDF’s to Nvg, and altered the brightness as well as the nvg gain. Even using the vr snap zoom, it is still difficult to read. Is it that difficult in real life, as those digits are displayed in green? Is it possible to have the VSD in full screen mode? Is there a way to dim the standby flight display? The bright/dim switch on the pilot display unit does not appear to alter the brightness whilst in nvg. Maybe these things haven’t been fully implemented yet, or I’ve missed something, thanks. 1
flmike911 Posted September 9 Posted September 9 IRL you can't read any of the MFD's or other instruments or radios through NVG's either. The goggles are manually focused to a specific distance. The majority of aviators (pilots and FE's) focus them to infinity. Everything beyond 25 to 30 ft is in focus and anything inside that is not. The closer in you look the more out of focus things are. Sitting in the pilot's seats, you are roughly 2 ft from the panel. All you see are big blobs of green. 99 percent of aviators look under the goggles to see the MFD's, radios, secondary instruments, and in the back the maintenance panel. Everything is dimmed so it can just be readable and not illuminate the cockpit as seen from the outside. Speaking from experience, I tried using goggles once with the tubes focused to different distances. One of the worst headaches I've had. Hope this helps. 3
