Only this one, and she's not going to be around for much longer. "They're pretty good, except for one little problem. That little guy right there. He is nipple number two. A good dairy cow should have, like, four." Cheers

Wow, that looks excellent! What was the round-cornered box of light that sort looked through the cockpit? Was it an image projected onto the eye-piece?

So because it's projected from the nose is why it appears to be looking through the cockpit frame?

So because it's projected from the nose is why it appears to be looking through the cockpit frame? That's correct. The quality of the image (level / contrast) is adjustable on the Video panel so appearance in screen-shots and videos will vary according to whatever settings are in use at the time. It blends visible light, a contrast enhanced image and texture channel 3 (we use for infra-red emission maps). The system as described to me was like having x-ray vision. Since you only get the PNVS through one eye, your brain blends images from both eyes however we have to mix it on a video display system for the same effect. I still get comments about the fit of the symbology in relation to the projected video image and it's one of those compromise areas where if you go for 100% accuracy it doesn't look good at all (the physical arrangement is too different). I think we decided to allow the mask to be customised so you can struggle in your own time to make it look how you like and the HUD scale is a user setting. I personally liked the slightly off-centre circle from the earlier video. It's really cool for landing, can see where you're going. Only had time for a short video, they do take me an afternoon to record and assemble. There's lots to cover and still lots of small changes to make to the IHADSS (missing a lot of the symbology changes made on the MPDs).

Wow. Just WOW. Excellent work. Coupled with the dynamic campaign later, it'll certainly give DCS something to think about!!! Keeping a VERY close eye on this sim, and for the record ... yes I want to pre-purchase ASAP, even just to help you guys out. Now to business..... The gunner FLIR screen's looking good. Will there be a full-screen toggle option? I'm sure there's an answer elsewhere in the forum.... Mr R.
