I'm not seeing a picture in YoYo's original post, but it sounds like I'm having the same problem. In the Mission Editor, when a Czech pilot turns on night vision on foot, all you can see is the "arm" of the goggles, not actually through them. I've never had this problem inside of a vehicle (at least, not inside of one of the Hinds). I don't know if this has since been patched or anything; my copies of Take On Helicopters and Arma II (plus its expansions) are all through Steam, and...well, I think most everyone here knows what problems that brings. :banghead:
Is anyone else still having this problem, and if so have you discovered any good workarounds?
