A-10C night goggles?

Recommended Posts

There is info in various sources that apart from the night vision imaging systems the Hog C has the pilots can and are using night vision goggles. Will this feature be implemented in DCS: A-10C?

yes.

The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

How about that targetting pod instead of binocs? ;)

 

Well aren't we a tease today!!!

 

Sounds really good, still just got my wife her first sticktime in DCS:BS so No rush with the A-10C module :smartass:

Or how about binos AND a targetting pod, since that's what CAS pilots use. What I really want added (although it probably won't be) is the ability to see the laser spot & beam from a/c targeting pods/laser designators when wearing NVGs.

 

It'd be great to be able to employ some real life tactics and procedures using the above for once in a sim.

I understand a "binocular" view would be pretty cool, but don't we already have the functionality with the already implemented optical zoom feature?

 

True, but wouldn't it be cool to have an binocular overlay like in the movies? Also perhaps a depth of field filter where the cockpit would be out of focus, as the binoculars are focused at infinity. Cosmetic I know, and quite possibly not possible with the current engine, but a nice idea none the less.

Or how about not, since pilots actually just use the TP now, and not binocs like you assumed.

:shocking: okai - that looks a bit scary ... and to honest, it looks quite like a pet I once owned.

Really? I must have imagined our pilots walking past me to the jets carrying their gyro stabilised binoculars the past 3 times I've been out to Afghanistan then.

 

I do apologise, you clearly know better. :huh:

Were they flying A-10Cs?

 

Because the pilots who spoke to ED no longer used binocs, so they say - it was a pointedly asked question on the subject.

 

I suppose they might bring them in case of TGP failure though.

They are more quadro's than bino's ;) I think its actually a screenshot from "Men in Black" and that pilot has four eyes :) another theory is that he flies drunk, and that eye piece corrects his double vision.
