this mod likes to bluescreen and reboot my computer for some odd reason

@HostGhostly don't know if you're still on here but that should have less to do with the distance and more to do with the fact that thermals don't work through glass...

Its actually more so that your vision distance is reduced at night with the thermals
HostGhostly Sep 19, 2024 @ 2:13am 
A problem, no matter what thermal you use, you cant see anything at night. You can't see terrain, vehicles or personnel unless you're close to them, which if you're in a helicopter or jet you aren't. That being said, it works very well as infantry but not when using any flying vehicles. If we could get a version that somehow picks up at night too, it would be great

How do you switch which mode is active (switching from red WHOT to grey WHOT)

Dedicated server key doesn't seem to work. Great mod otherwise

Yes, the thermal works exactly the same like the vanilla goggles, it's just a different model.

Is terrain still viewable at night with the thermals on?

A-fucking-mazing!

hi @Rad, idk if you are reading but i need a help here , i downloaded this http://orig07.deviantart.net/dd3f/f/2015/312/0/e/arma_3_diamondback_remastered_by_zeealex-d9g1bpk.jpg but it has no Thermal capability to it, what can i do to make it thermal any script and idea where to plug them ?
Rad  [author] Jun 13, 2018 @ 3:13am 
I have removed multiple TI mods from the goggles as they cluttered their usage so i only kept what i thought was the best mode: White hot red. As for the invisible or eyepatch kind of thermals i will definitely not make that. The mod has "Goggles" in its name and it will stay like that.
SH4DOW_Jack Jun 12, 2018 @ 9:30pm 
so, i love this but only the first version has 5 different visions, also, can you make a skin that actually hides the thermal goggles when they go down or even and eye patch nvg with all the same functions?
Dean May 24, 2018 @ 12:44pm 
@Rad thanks anyway, appreciate the quick response.
Rad  [author] May 24, 2018 @ 12:33pm 
@dean, I wanted to do that originally but the game doesnt have those kinds of thermal vision, sorry
Dean May 24, 2018 @ 12:32pm 
Would it be possible to make red on blue? Like normal thermals?
Rad  [author] May 20, 2018 @ 10:25am 
Hmm. Maybe the texture path is wrong in the config. That's the only reason, send me a screenshot and tell me the name of the goggles, ill fix it.
GrumpyPlok616 May 20, 2018 @ 8:34am 
is there a reason i can have these but cant see them on my guy but can see the night vsion straps
Rad  [author] Jan 27, 2018 @ 2:14am 
What do you mean by CSAT nvg? Standard CSAT wear black NV goggles. If youre talking about those new CSAT NV goggles that came with Apex, i haven't made them thermal.
Tindalos7 Jan 26, 2018 @ 5:49pm 
What about csat's nvg?
BigJim21 Sep 29, 2017 @ 4:58am 
can you add this to a server ? sorry for the noobis question i dont play arma much
Ryan Sep 22, 2017 @ 3:47pm 
@Rad Well, that's what it actually does, lol. You get actual NVG that you can wear, that supports both TI and NV
Rad  [author] Sep 22, 2017 @ 11:21am 
Yea those are private classnames (scope = 1) and they are used on pilot helmets and similar,the point of this mod is to have real goggles that you can wear.
Ryan Sep 22, 2017 @ 7:50am 
@Rad Try it ;)
Rad  [author] Sep 21, 2017 @ 4:27pm 
@maxine What???
Ryan Sep 21, 2017 @ 3:49pm 
100% vanilla variant:
1. player addItem "Integrated_NVG_TI_0_F"
2. Save in arsenal
3. ???
4. PROFIT

Or use one of these:
"Integrated_NVG_F" - Full-screen NVG
"Integrated_NVG_TI_0_F" - Same, but with white thermals
"Integrated_NVG_TI_1_F" - Same, but with black thermals

@Rad, Time and Patients your followers will understand delay's with mods.
Rad  [author] Sep 16, 2017 @ 1:58pm 
actually Vander i changed it to red and white for my unit because its much better,i might do it for this mod aswell when i have time
Vandle Sep 16, 2017 @ 1:22pm 
@Rad That be lit mate, maybe some differen't variants of it in stead of the usual m futuristic thermal go back to when they used like the red & white hot variant. Thats my suggestion but you do you mate either way i love using the mod.
Rad  [author] Sep 16, 2017 @ 2:58am 
Quick question: Would you guys like the goggles in multiple Camos? I currently made some in CTRG camo but i can make other ones too.
Vandle Apr 9, 2017 @ 11:56pm 
I enjoy the fact that You took something as the Standard thermal vison of the TWS scope and just re applied it to the NVG of the standard arma though honeslty i'm not a fan of the standard nvg but if its something like this i will gladly use them to my advantae. So good work Rad and keep it up as wlel :)
Joakkino [ITA] Mar 22, 2017 @ 7:04pm 
That's right. But mine is always bright :( This is i'm trying to say :P
Rad  [author] Mar 22, 2017 @ 11:26am 
Like i said,it doesnt have to do anything with the mod,its the vanilla green. If you took the vanilla laser designator and stood next to someone who's gun is hot while looking trough the designator you will see it gets very bright
Joakkino [ITA] Mar 22, 2017 @ 5:35am 
I love this mod too, but as i wrote below, the thermal vision is too green, to bright green, in comparison to the green of thermal vision of sights. But i'm going to use it anyway ^_^
Personally i dont like the full screen version because it feels less realistic :P
Thx again for this mod <3
Rad  [author] Mar 15, 2017 @ 2:54pm 
You should see my "Overpowered edition" where it has all the possible TI modes xD But yea it is possible
TheStoreyTeller Mar 15, 2017 @ 12:24pm 
I love this mod. But is it possible to get a version where its just white hot? after using this for a long time i find it sluggish to have to switch between all the modes. just to go back to regular vision.
Joakkino [ITA] Mar 11, 2017 @ 6:10pm 
Oh damn... Never thought about this :D Thx for the tip :P
Rad  [author] Mar 10, 2017 @ 2:23am 
No it is not. The thermal goggles automaticly adjust themselves (Thats how BI made thermal work) based on how close thermals are. If you shoot your weapon a lot so it gets hot and then put your goggles on,the goggles will get very bright because of the heat coming from really close range. Same goes if you're in a vehicle for example
Joakkino [ITA] Mar 9, 2017 @ 5:33pm 
Hi Rad, congrats for this mod!
A question is the other reason cause i'm writing: is it possible to reduce the brightness (or make it adjustable)? Expecially for the thermal mode, it' really too much green ( at least for me).
Please note that i'm playing on i7-3770, GTX 960 AMP (4GB) and (useless :P) 32 GB RAM on 1920x1980 with very high details. Something on ultra and something other on standard setting.

Thx in advance ^_^
Rad  [author] Mar 9, 2017 @ 2:30am 
You mean so that they dont appear on the head? If you mean that then yes,it is but why would i do that?
Seridis van der Egix Mar 8, 2017 @ 6:29pm 
is any way you make them invisible all the time?
Rad  [author] Jan 29, 2017 @ 6:38am 
Yea,sure
Rad  [author] Jan 10, 2017 @ 5:43am 
@CSK222 You should be able to use my thermal goggles while using RCO or ERCO
Rad  [author] Jan 10, 2017 @ 5:42am 
Allright guys,its here. I finally took a little time to write the config. You will now be able to use Pilot and Heli pilot helmet's integrated Night and Thermal vision. Helmets have fullscreen vision and all possible thermal modes,i hope you like it ;)
Rad  [author] Jan 10, 2017 @ 3:55am 
Yes there is,that is simple but i dont want to do it on the normal goggles as i want to keep it a bit realistic. The pilot and helipilot helmets will have the full screen tho
CSK222 Jan 10, 2017 @ 12:27am 
Here's another idea. Is there any way to allow Full Screen NVG? http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=423344798
Rad  [author] Jan 4, 2017 @ 2:51am 
it is indeed with a simple config
CSK222 Jan 3, 2017 @ 9:05pm 
Is there any way possible to do something like this but to the weapons optics, for example an ERCO,RCO, etc. scope. I've always wanted low zoom power thermal optics. I'm always stuck with the Nightstalker.
Rad  [author] Jan 1, 2017 @ 6:14am 
Thats a nice idea,i will see the pilot helmet and reconfigure it so it has thermal :)
BarracudaKiller Dec 31, 2016 @ 11:11am 
hey Rad, u think u can make one for the Pilot helmets, sort of like how tehy have full screen NVG's except add another helmet taht has NVG's, thermals etc?
