Why is there no night vision in Su25T cockpit?

every other vehicle has it even the 1940's P51 Mustang, you can get it in all the outside views, why can't they just activate it for the SU25 Cockpit?

they did not deploy missions at night for the SU25. Only early dawn, and dusk. :thumbup:

The Su-25T has the Merkury pod for night operations, whose output is shown on your Skhval. You don't actually need NVG for this aircraft.

Actually the mercury is a LLTV pod. Standing for Low Light TeleVision.

Due to the way it works you either need (some) sun or illumination flares.

Its of no use during night ops.

If anyone wants to try this mod I for SU25-T Night Vision

 

Instead of modifying the default file in your Mods/aircrafts folder, try this:

Add the following lines to your User/Saved Games/DCS/Config/Input/su-25T/keyboard/keyboard.lua file.

{combos = {{key = "H", reformers = {"RWin", "RAlt", }}, }, pressed = iCommandPlane_Helmet_Brightess_Down, name = "Gain goggles down", category = "Sensors"},
{combos = {{key = "H", reformers = {"RWin", "RCtrl", }}, }, pressed = iCommandPlane_Helmet_Brightess_Up, name = "Gain goggles up", category = "Sensors"},
{combos = {{key = "H", reformers = {"RWin", }}, }, down = iCommandViewNightVisionGogglesOn, name = "Toggle goggles", category = "Sensors"},

You don't have to use this code exactly if you prefer different keys, or reformers, but this one works well for me.

 

Method works for the A-10A, Su-25T, Su-25, and the P-51D.

This works great.
