When the sun goes down, sometimes you need to go out. Whether it's for a night time Search and Rescue (SAR) mission, delivery of emergency supplies across a contested border or transporting a traffic collision victim to higher levels of care. These night vision goggles for Microsoft Flight Simulator will help you navigate the darkness and succeed in your mission.

This addon gives you three presets:

Night Vision Goggles - traditional green
Night Vision Goggles - White Phosphor
FLIR

This addon uses ReShade. Instructions are in the read me file included with the download. Steam users are golden. Unfortunately, if you have the Windows Store version of MSFS, this will not work. A VR version of ReShade is being developed, but so far, that also does not work with MSFS. Please visit www.feintgames.com for updates.

If you don't want the Night Vision or FLIR effect to be active during boot up of the game, go to your root folder, open dxgi.ini (or ReShade.ini) with notepad and change NoReloadOnInit from 0 to a 1 like this:

[GENERAL]
NoReloadOnInit=1

After setting this, you can open the ReShade Overlay, select the preset you want to use and then click OK. Additional instructions in the ReadMe.pdf

As the game loads, ReShade will display at the top left of your screen which button calls up the Overlay. For me, it's PgDn to open the overlay, but for others, it defaults to the Home key. Once the game loads, hit that key to open the Overlay, and if you go to the settings tab, you can change it to whatever key you want.

Please Note: This has only been tested with Steam versions of MSFS. However, some people have had good luck by installing ReShade in Microsoft Windows Store versions of the game by following these directions:

This is my first Reshade and I'm kinda confused. When I'm flying around at night and I enable night vision, all the pop up windows (ATC, VFR, Camera windows) are so bright I can't see what ATC is saying, or where I am on the VFR map. Is there a way to fix this without changing the hundreds of settings and ruining night vision? Plus, when I look up or down, the screen gets brighter or darker. Is this on my end or a mod defect? Are the pop up windows supposed to be bright?

While the effect is very nice, it does not work well in actually dark moonless nights. Trying to find a grass strip in the foreste on such a night is still not possible.

Awesome mod work like the real thing 😊

Do you think it is possible to add a depth contour line filter (like in boderland games) to recreate the new DARPA Enhanced Night Vision Goggle ?

Such a beautiful add-on! Makes night flying amazing! On the FLIR present, the FLIR screen only appears as a small rectangle, instead of taking up the whole monitor screen as show in the FLIR pics attached to the file. How do I increase the FLIR screen size?

This is an excellent use of ReShade, amazing work. I'm excited to try your 2.1 update features, but the download link is still giving me V.1.0, with a file dated 19 May?

To the people having issues with the green on startup fix, or the keys don't work, I have a few tips at the bottom of my post!

But first some feedback to Feint:

What a great looking NVG filter you've made for ReShade!

I was worried it would potentially hurt my fps, but no fps loss at all.

(I have never used ReShade before but I know what it can do to some games' fps. But I guess these are not harsh effects to render)

Also credits to the original concept by Barbarossa Krenth!

Now to the tips:

Don't have a dxgi.ini to stop the green effect on startup?

Use ReShade.ini instead.

There is (might be) no line that says 'NoReloadOnInit' but not to worry: Just add 'NoReloadOnInit=1' yourself underneath all the lines in the '[GENERAL]' section.(so underneath 'TextureSearchPaths=.\reshade-shaders\Textures')

PgUp and PgDn don't work?

Try using 'Home'. This was the default ReShade setting key for me instead of 'PgDn'

Once in the ReShade settings menu you can rebind your keys.

Great mod ! however I can't find the dxgi.ini file in my Flightsim folder... I only have a dll and txt one

NV started with MSFS and I can't turn off. I unbound page up and page down before installing.

[EDIT] I fixed it. Page Up wasn't bound in reshade. Can just use that as a toggle rather than page up and page down.

Was able to fly the H135 with lights off through the valleys near Bugalaga in the pitch black. Great mod.

If ReShade installs correctly do your shader files just go into the Community folder?

hey i have an issue where if I choose one of the three .ini via ReShade and activate it nothing happens?

any ideas? i am on the store version but im able to install and run Reshade with some effects,but when trying to open the NVG nothing happens

EDIT: ok scrap most of that ,the FLIR and WhitePhos work fine when selected. The only problem is when the NVG is selected none of the effects boxes are ticked (unlike the other two where the config file obviously ticks the FX boxes) so could the NVG Config file be corrupted somehow? I can individually select FX in the NVG which does bring up some effects, but not sure if im selecting the proper effects thats all

That's strange. I'm not sure why that's happening. I know that if the end user changes any of the default checkboxes or any of the values, the .ini files get saved automatically. Try deleting them and redownloading them and see if that works. The checkboxes might have been cleared by a shortcut key press by accident. But that's just a guess. Hope this helps.

Is this compatible with the Bell 407? I am on PC's MSFS. Not on Steam. Does this ReShade still experience issues?

7 months ago

This works with all aircraft. If ReShade works with your version of MSFS, then it will work.

EpsteinGames

You can alter the presets to lower the amount of brightness.

That's a shortcoming of all NV goggles in real life. NV uses light amplification. It can't create light out of nothing.

Just a headsup to other users, this is a great base for a NVG set, it simulates the lens effects and lighting very well. In order to make this more realistic, I used a Color Matrix filter to match FAA approved white phosphor colors and then applied a feathered circle mask layer to give the appearance of looking through a correctly calibrated goggle. I also applied the Advanced CRT filter, lowering the percieved resolution to match the lower resolution of real NVG. Overall, this turned out incredible, and while not particularly "fun" it really adds to the immersion of an FAA approved NVG experience.

If you have previous experience with ReShade and basic photo editing, you should be able to modify to this standard within 10-20 minutes.

Does not work for me

This is exactly what I need right now to fly the Raptor.

Damn shame it doesn't work for us Store users!

Is that something that might potentially change going forward?

Just FYI, white phosphor NVD's are not purple in color. There is one brand (photonis) that has a bluish tint, but most common in aviation is the L3 filmless which is more turqoise in color. It is by far the better of the two with sharpest contrast, cleanest image, and better light amplification.

You can adjust the colors to whatever you want in the settings. Check the readMe file for more information.
