Sorry I know it sounded like a silly question, but it had to be asked. That's a strange problem, I've not seen it before. Are you sure your electrical systems are up and running and the rotor RPM is high enough for the generators and inverters to supply power to the NVGs?

 

I can't remember where the logbook is at the moment, but you could try a fresh install in another folder (or rename your current folder and then install BS where it was) to check it out.

Are you absolutely positive you have NVGs equipped and not the HMS?

If the hms was equipped,wouldn't the yellow cross hair come on

Only if it is being supplied power.

Do you start manually or use the cheat? If you start manually try using the cheat to see if you are missing something.

its ok

Well, post a track where the NVGs wouldn't come on. If they come on and work properly when we view the track, then there must be something wrong with your install.

Do this, Before you start anything, Call the ground crew and have the equip them.

 

Before any start up. Then it should work

Regarding night vision, one thing that has always eluded me is how to get all cockpit lighting to be blue for Night Vision? When I start a night mission in a warm seat (aka heli is already running and ready to fly), all the cockpit instrumentation is blue. However, whenever I start cold, I have never been able to figure out how to get the blue instrumentation lighting. I tried flipping the NVG Lighting switch, adjusted the brightness controls, etc... but have never been able to get it to work.

 

Anyone have the answer?

[Nate--IRL--]

NVG lighting should be available to turn on, straight after turning on your batteries.

Well, I haven't flown the Shark in a while, so I don't know exactly where the switch for the blue lighting is. However, I do know that it is on the right rear panel, near the other cockpit lighting switches.

blue lighting is the switch in the red circle

Here it is,I haven't played in a while.I'm just trying to fix it for my dad

Just looked at your track. With the Door closed you must set your Intercom to communicate with the Grounds crew. See Pg 6-105 of the extended manual (Pg 2-103 of the normal manual) Switch 2.

 

The ground crew will not install the NVGs if they cant hear you request. They should give confirmation they a re installing the NVGs and then a few seconds later confirm they are installed

 

Edit:- I took control of your track from the start, pressed H and had NVGs. Odd, this is not what you are getting?

 

Edit2:- At no point during that track did the NVGs get switched on (Switch 6 pg 6-102 Extended manual or Pg 2-100 of the normal manual)

 

Edit3:- I should point out that if a mission starts in the Dark, the NVGs are installed by default.

Yep, finally got it using Dragons Training Pack and night free flying mission (he has the procedure outlined in the brief).

 

As soon as entering the cold black pit.

1) Hit R-Ctrl R-Shft E twice (turn on battery)

2) Hit L-Ctrl K (turn on blue (NVG) lighting)

 

Wala, blue lighting to continue startup procedures!

 

Been flying the BS for a long time, and finally now I know how to enable the blue light...! :)
