    • Disabled by default the the toggling of tactical devices when sprinting because I understand that this feature is very confusing for those who install the mod without carefully reading through the mod description first.

    Mitigated the brightness issue by applying a 65% black filter around the tubes (does not affect the image inside the tubes). This is not a defenitive fix, and defenitely not the most elegant way to do it, but I've done my best. Also, as always, this is meant to be used with NVG ORIGINAL COLOR off in Amands's Graphics settings. If, for some reason, you want to use unfiltered mask textures you can still get them from older versions of the mod.

    Reworked the mask for the PNV-10T. It's a single tube binocular, so it should take as much screen as a binocular but only provide the image of a monocular. It has its own LensTexture now.

    Mitigated the IR light being visible outside of the tubes by automatically toggling tactical devices when sprinting, this can be disabled in te F12 menu. Also reintroduced parts of the old server mod to allow the N-15 to be equipped on all helmets (i forgot about this).

    Thanks to the amazing work of Arys, now you can see natural light outside of the NVG tubes, just like in Stalker GAMMA. There are two small issues, they are explained in the Known Issues tab.

    ATTENTION: IF UPDATING TO 1.3.0 FROM A PREVIOUS VERSION, DELETE THE "Realistic-Night-Vision-Goggles-1.2.3" FOLDER LOCATED IN "user\mods". LATTEST VERSION IS NOW CLIENT-SIDE ONLY.

    To update the client-side part, just drop and replace.

    This is now client-side only, which means it's possible to change values in real time (not implemented yet tho, wait for 1.3.1). For the next version I plan to make a F12 menu to allow the users to change the color, gain and noise values in real time.

    - New more realistic mask for the binoculars, irl it does not really offer much more FOV than a monocular.
    - Default mask for the quadnods is now the more realistic mask from the optional masks.
    - Nerfed the PNV-10T since it's Gen 2, and slightly buffed the rest of NVGs since they are all Gen 3.
    Thanks to the kind people from r/NightVision for the feedback. All the old masks are still available in the OptionalTextures folder.

    If you've ever seen vanilla Tarkov's GPNVG-18 mask at ultrawide resolution, you know how horrible it looks.
    I've added support to my masks to work at ultrawide resolutions. Now when using wider aspect ratios, like 21:9, the outer lenses of the GPNVG-18 will be visible on the screen. For 16:9 aspect ratio, the outer lenses will still be only partially visible, otherwise I'd have to substantially reduce vertical FOV or stretch the texture mask vertically, both of which are bad options.

    Adjusted the mask size of the quad-nods from 1 to 0.96, they had too much vertical fov compared to the other NVGs. Also got rid of the version warning.

    TURN OFF NVG ORIGINAL COLOR IN AMAND'S GRAPHICS. CHECK THE NEW SETTINGS IMAGE.
    That setting is what was applying different color filters to the NVGs depending on the map. With that turned off, the NVG colors will be consistent across all maps.

    Increased the resolution of the mask textures and changed the way the masks area loaded from the disk, now they can be customized by the mod user. Includes a new optional mask for the GPNVG-18. I've noticed that different maps apply different color filters to the NVGs, tomorrow I will work on that.

    Let me know if it doesn't work.

    This mod reworks Tarkov's thermal scopes to match their real life specifications. The main points are: - Most scopes are 30Hz or 60Hz - Dsiplay resolution increased on all scopes. - Increased range on all thermal scopes, no more hard limit.
