Finally, I'm pretty sure the Comanche's DTV MFD picture was in true color, but that's nitpicking. Anyone know what the Apache's is? I'm not talking about in Low Light mode.
I asked a real Longbow pilot the last time this issue came up. If you search you might be able to find his full answer, but here's the gist of it:
The current Apaches only have monochrome (green) FLIR and DTV. The DTV is planned to be upgraded to a colour camera with the M-TADS upgrade.
DVO however is a purely optical device (like binoculars, or a telescope), so it obviously shows colours. The DVO can however only be used by the gunner through the optical relay tube (ORT). And new Longbows have removed the ORT (and DVO) as it was rarely used. It has been replaced by a third MFD for the gunner.
