Vinsen 0 Posted July 8, 2002 I don't know if it's possible but could someone make realistic looking NVGs like the ones on VBS1. They would look much better than the cardboard box and yoghurt pot effect ones we have in the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Legionnaire 7 0 Posted July 8, 2002 I beg to differ...the binocular type goggles are sweet! Plus, the AN/PVS-7 are relatively new, and since OFP happens in 1985, I think that these are appropriate as they were prolly still in use around that time.

If they are a model in the original OFP demo then they should be easily modifiable. Also I believe my old Army Reserve unit has the PVS-7's or something very similar since the early 90's. If we had them I'm sure they were around in 1985. Unfortunately I don't remember the exact model that we used but they were monocles.

The Jub-Jub Bird 1 Posted July 8, 2002 I have some pictures in various books with pilots wearing goggles that look pretty close to the ones in game. Jubs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tylerb59 0 Posted July 9, 2002 You know, several years from now we'll be laughing at how bulky those things are. I mean..look at them..huge and inconvient to wear. Similar to VHS tapes to DVD, etc. I would imagine prices dropping and easier to produce for civilian use. I already have an IR filter for a camera, but still I would like to have something smaller to "see in the dark". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Jub-Jub Bird 1 Posted July 9, 2002 I would rather wear a 'binocular' version to a 'monocular' version anyday...far easier to judge distance and dimension. If you've ever tried living any lenght of time with just one eye open then you'll know what I mean. Jubs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I stand corrected. They do indeed look like the ones in Operation Flashpoint. It wouldn't hurt however to make PVS-7 monoculcar NVG as well though....at least they look a little cooler.

Major Fubar 0 Posted July 10, 2002 I would like to see starlight scopes for rifles: Does anyone know if it would be possible to incorporate night-vision into a scope independent of wearing goggles in OFP? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I believe that's the same starlight scope that I used once during an annual training field combat exercises against OPFOR. If it is, it's a SWEET scope. It's got daylight filters on it also so it can be used during the day. While the magnification on it isn't all that impressive, it gives you a damn good view at night. But it's also heavy and bulky. As for whether starlight scopes could be mounted...I guess it would be a matter of scripting it where it basically acted as if you were putting on NVG's every time you hit the "V" key and then removing the goggles when you took it off the site/scope view. That might be possible but an experienced .cpp scripter would have to answer that. Chris G. aka-Miles Teg<GD> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KTottE 0 Posted July 10, 2002 Well, I think it's all a matter of the texture applied to the optics. If you just make a weapon-scope and code it to use the NVG overlay it should work. Since the NVG:s in OFP doesn't illuminate shit, it should be fairly simple to do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Scooby Posted July 12, 2002 I got to use prototype of it and it was good and easy to use. Here are technical specifications of it from manufacturers website. "VV 2000 Night Vision System One system for many applications VV2000's rugged design and internal illuminated reticle makes it suitable for all small and medium sized weapon sights, such as an assault rifles, machine guns, machine pistols, marksman rifles, recoilless guns, or for weapon equipped with their own reflecting sight of laser pointer. Although VV2000 is an excellent choice as a night sight, it is also designed for observation and moving. When fastened on to a head mask designed especially for the purpose, VV2000 makes driving, running and crawling easy even at very low illumination levels. When the distance to the target is more than 300 m or it is very dark, it is easy to fasten a tele-extender to the VV2000. No extra adjustments are needed. VV2000 is highly reliable and its modular design ensures minimum life-time cost. Technical specifications: Magnification: 1 x Field of View: 40° Focal range: 25 cm - Resolution at 1 mlux: >0.8 lp/mrad Diopter adjustment: -0.75 dpt Battery type: 2 x standard AA size Tube: SuperGen or Gen III Reticle: Illuminated Environmentals: According to military requirements Accessories: Tele-extender (magnification 2.7x) Weapon bracket with adjustments Head mask Carrying pouch Transport case Cleaning kit Options: CCD version with helmet monitor CCD version with normal monitor Coupling with photo or video camera" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
