There is nothing wrong with your system.I have a P3 733mhz 224MB Ram, with an ATI Radeon 3D card, but I when I turn on the night vision, I can't tell any detail and depth on the terrain. It's easy to run into the side of a mountain because I can't tell it's there. ------------------

How are you setting Gamma? In-game? I use
a 3rd party item called Powerstrip, but it
is a little lacking. I have not seen a
Gamma in the game. IS there a switch or
something? ------------------ -=Spectre=- [This message has been edited by Spectre_USA (edited 10-23-2000).]

I run with my gamma on 1.2x. I've got a TNT card, and it has a place to set the gamma on it in the properties.

So I take it that PNVS sucks in this game like to itdoes in the real bird? Take it from me, it sucks! PNVS is a type of FLIR, someone was saying it wasn't. Close in, goggles, which are light amplification, are better. Further out, PNVS is better. But details are hard to make out. Stars do not show up on PNVS or TADS, they aren't in the 8-12 micron range of IR output. Things like tanks and other vehicles show up well. It can see through some obscuration and light fog, but this can mislead aviators into exceeding there abilities and flying right into fog banks and sunsequently, the ground. Blackjack knows about goggles and this, but PNVS makes it even more tempting. I guess if the weather is foggy (but daytime) it will allow some vision through it while goggles are useless, but itain't x-ray vision. Our Longbows will soon be getting (soon, as in years) an improved PNVS and TADS. Police FLIRS on helicopters are better than ours. But then again, PNVS has been around for more than 20 years in the origianl prototypes (yeah, with Howard Hughes in it). BTW, Blackjack, just passed my AH-64D checkride tonite. My bank account is a bit lighter, but it was worth it (just kidding). ------------------

Spectre_usaI have a V4500 card which enables you to set different gamma levels for D3D, Glide, Desktop or Video Overlay. There's also a neat little util for Voodoo cards called V4runner that lets you save different settings for different games. I used to have a TNT card and the way to do it was the way Reaper describes, thru properties/settings etc. You could also save different settings here too. This will apparently change the gamma for the monitor output, regardless of API or application. Some programs may have internal video control which can overide this, but EECH isn't one of them. Just right-click on the desktop to bring up the video properties page, select settings and select the tab that brings up the color correction. Powerstrip can do the same thing. Good luck ------------------
