Night vision googles for the C-101 pilot?

I was wondering if, for the sake of multi-role operations, the C-101 pilot would be able to use night vision googles. Let’s say, like a Huey pilot…

I don’t know if this is the case in real life, but I don’t think this would break the realism in the worst case. It could be quite fun to hunt down drug dealers trucks by night in deep mountains valleys using this little bird!

This is a feature I would like to see more often in DCS World aircrafts…

Hi,

It is something we can look at adding! NVG can be independent of the aircraft (IRL), so you can choose if you're "NVG equipped" or not, as desired.

Best regards,

Tango.

that is an excellent idea for mission !

I wonder if this might be added as a general mod, rather than a plane-specific feature. It might already be a mod, for all I know - I haven't searched for it.

That would allow one to retrofit NVG on any aircraft, since, as Tango notes, it's independent of aircraft IRL.

I think an Su-25 with NVG could be interesting, as well :)

Well, AFAIK cockpit illumination has to be compatible with NVG, but in any case sounds very interesting for CC.:):)

That would be awesome indeed!

The CC will benefit a lot from NVG. Specially for attack missions.

BTW, can the CC carry any kind of recon pod in real life?

That would be awesome to get NVG with the C-101 ;)

Dear Friends, I'm very sorry for this little off topic, but SU-25A with NVG is possible via a small lua tweak.

It is a huge help for night CAS with the Frogfoot.

Add these 3 lines at LINE 59 in the file :

...\DCS World\Mods\aircraft\Flaming Cliffs\Input\su-25\keyboard\default.lua

Maybe you could even add the system, I don't know how C-101 is structured but for F86 if you add:

devices["HELMET_DEVICE"] = counter() -- 17

in devices.lua at the end and:

creators[devices.HELMET_DEVICE] = {"avNightVisionGoggles"}

in device_init.lua just after line 85

and of course the keybord commands Lilkiki mentioned above... you have NVG.

like in this older picture :D

I also have the NVG mod...

Awesome Zaelu !

It works !!! :thumbup:

Here is the NVG Mod attached JSMGE ready !

Thank you.:)

 

Just a little off topic how can I add night vison to Su-27/33? Everything else works well.

Even F-15?

Good job!

Indeed, I would like the NVG to be an officially universal feature available to all aircrafts without having to hack the scripts... I think that, in the worst case, this is up to the user to know if he/she wants to use them or not depending of the era the flight is taking place in.

Works great....thanks for doing this.
