Yeah I plan to be on today. I’m sure we will wind up being on at the same time. The NVG mod details are in the video description. You just need to edit one line in the file mentioned. I use a mod manager and so I created the package which is simply a zip file containing the modified file inside a directory structure which matches the installation. This way it’s trivial to remove for the rare occasion that I want to fly on a pure client server and to restore it after a DCS update.
@@kgod511 I use open mod manager. It’s from the developer who made OVGME (which he stoped developing for). Either one is good and work the same way. github.com/sedenion/OpenModMan
Now that I'm enjoying the NVG for the first time in DCS, my next question is, are they adjustable or is the brightness level fixed? Oh and you also got me using the better smoke mod. What a big difference it makes in VR! Looks so much better 😅
I love the better smoke mod. It makes the battlefield look alive (or dead?). Yes, you can adjust the brightness in the NVG. You need to bind a key/button to the increase gain / decrease gain. I didn't know about this for a long time and now that I know, it's indispensable. At the airbase, it's helpful to decrease it. I also decreased it in a video where the FLIR display was washed out / too bright.
Nice! Really appreciate your help. It's funny to hear you saying the same things I was thinking last night about the NVG. I agree, it's an awesome tool, but it's nice to turn it off at certain times to enjoy the scenery and then back on as needed. I definitely find that my landings are better and safer with it on 😂
@@redtailpilot yeah its good to hear that you aren’t alone at times with how you do things in DCS. I thought I should explain why I often turn off the NVGs. Sometimes to help me spot stuff and other times to enjoy how cool the lighting is. I think they did an amazing job with it all.
