Summary
Realistic, time period accurate night vision for Arma Reforger. Designed to work with vanilla game parameters.
Description
As the sun sets across the battlefield, the fight continues on, in a different spectrum. The Cold War was no stranger to technological advancements, chief among these being night vision. Northcom NV seeks to bring this tech to Reforger, represented as realistically as possible and playable.
Features:
-Period accurate night vision units, with realistically modeled performance values based on real, historical spec sheets and genuine real world reference models.
-Simulation of lens focus (ran at infinity, as you would in the field.)
-Proper ADS blocking (red dots still work, but iron sights and magnified optics are blocked.)
-Integrated IR illuminators (different specs by model.)
-Scintillation/noise simulation.
-Realistic representation of night vision functionality (Gen 2 night vision can only amplify available visible and IR light, and Gen 1 can only see visible and IR light. No light, no image!)
-Bloom around light sources.
-Stowed and deployed models.
....and more in development!
