p0laris 14 Posted July 29, 2014 Looks awesome. I think the NVG screen could use a bit cleaning up but like you stated it's still under heavy development. I really just want the model lmao. Awesome work guys! Can't wait can't wait can't wait!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wiki 1558 Posted July 29, 2014 @Warlord: they look nice indeed, but in the first person view, it doesn't seem round enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
warlord554 2065 Posted July 29, 2014 (edited) Yea I have well over 31hrs just experimenting and tweaking the actual view. That one pictured was taken directly from the manufacturer pictures that were provided to me by email. But as stated it's still heavy WIP. Thx for all the feedback guys much appreciated @DevilDogCro That was my first view developed, and I have long debated going back to it. I'll revert back and get your alls opinions Thx guys Edited July 30, 2014 by WarLord554 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
asoy999 10 Posted July 31, 2014 These GPNVGs paired with Cunico's LBT-6094s would help complete a DEVGRU based load out. Awesome Work ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
warden_1 1070 Posted July 31, 2014 These still appear rather large, or at least the tube size does. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
teeha 22 Posted August 1, 2014 So! Brightness is something that people seem to want and we will tweak film grain so we get a more realistic view. As said before, things are still in pretty heavy development and things can always change. Size is something that can be changed fairly easily but it can affect textures and such but it is still something we are still working on. I do want to give a shout out to Warlord though as he has taught me a ton about mod development and has and still is doing an amazing job on this project!

gatordev 217 Posted August 1, 2014 So! Brightness is something that people seem to want and we will tweak film grain so we get a more realistic view. Please! Don't overdue the grain. People think that because it's night vision, it looks like it did in 1991 during the Gulf War. If there's a decent amount of light, there is no grain. If it's really dark (and/or due to particulate in the air, like dust or rain), it gets grainy, but it's not an all-or-nothing thing. Modern Gen 3 (or Gen 4 in the case of the -18s) are far more advanced than what you can buy cheap on the internet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
warlord554 2065 Posted August 1, 2014 Haha no worries. Current gen(and especially these gp18s) don't really show grain at all. I think the standard A3 grain looks fine after doing a bit of testing last night. We will discuss and develop it accordingly :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gatordev 217 Posted August 2, 2014 Completely agree. Looking forward to it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dixon13 15 Posted August 6, 2014 Please keep in mind, if you are going to implement NVG brightness control then make sure the mod will be compatible with other mods that have this implemented already, i.e. CSE, AGM, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
probad 44 Posted August 6, 2014 (edited) I voted no in the poll because I personally value consistency over authenticity. I'd only want grain if every other NVG (at least the vanilla ones) got grain modded in as well, as it would feel annoying if these top of the line NVGs were the only ones with ironically lesser image quality compared to the vanilla and other mod NVGs. Perhaps including an optional pbo with a "simple" version without the grain or brightness control and battery life to make it in line with vanilla would be nice if adding in grain to other NVGs is :effort:.

warlord554 2065 Posted August 6, 2014 We have not decided anything regarding those issues yet, but rest.assured there would be a version with, and a version without :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That said, I find it amusing that people take something that's modeling a top of the line item and want to add something to make it work less well...all in the name of "reality!" But hey, OFP/Arma is all about user choices, and that's pretty cool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EricJ 739 Posted August 6, 2014 Honestly I'm just waiting for them to be released, piloting will be much better with them :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

teeha 22 Posted August 7, 2014 (edited) I'll be home soon and the amount of work being done will be much higher. WarLord has been working on it while I've been away. In response to the stuff about the film grain, I thought about it before I even posted the mod of the forums and as some of you have said, with a generation of NODs like this your not going to have much grain. So for those of you worried about it having limited use because of grain, don't be worried about it. I think myself and WarLord have a similar opinion about it. With compatibility with other mods, it should work just fine unless someone modifies the mod to use the same class name as our NODs but we will make sure to test it! Glad you guys are looking forward to it :) We should be finished soon but quality comes before release! ----- Sorry it's taking so long guys, it is my first community released mod but it should be done soon!

probad 44 Posted August 18, 2014 Do whatever you have to, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't still eagerly anticipating the release! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
teeha 22 Posted August 18, 2014 Good to hear! We are currently updating the LOD's and the headstrap. Once that's done, there's not much to do! I'm still learning from Warlord about all of this stuff but it's going well! Can't give you guys a for sure release date but hopefully it will be used once released!
