Thanks Mark! Yes, I know it's not a CapSim issue and I certainly appreciate it, (I have a post in Iris's site). The canopy's dirty texture is definitely affecting the NVIS effect as far as the contrast/crispness goes.

But I think that you'll find that it's a GRADIENT effect that may be the cause for absolutely no NVIS when you are looking straight ahead, through, or on either side, of the HUD, (I almost sound like I know what I'm talking about ;D).

The truth is I am strictly guessing based on a comparison of the interior gradients between the A10 and the F14. The 14 has a vertical, black, gradient that fades to white on each side of the center black mass as one of its interior textures. But the A10 has a 'spot' gradient that is white in the center and fades to black as it expands to the outer edges, (if that all makes sense).

When I read that last paragraph back to myself, I realized that this may not be as 'easy' as I thought at first. Virtavia once helped me out with their Dauphin Helicopter which had far too much 'sea-salt spray' effect on the windshield. They sent me another texture to replace the one they had for that area.

That's why I thought it would be easy to fix. But this gradient thing... I don't know. Anything you may find will help.
