I said NVG but just meant IR on the HUD, along with night lighting. However, I thought the F-15 strike eagle sim also put a FLIR on the HUD? Loved that sim, cause it had the backseater MFDs and high resolution ground mapping radar for targetting.

Some new details on the Tacpac which sound quite promising:

Some more details of Tacpac
--- Quote ---David: Does the argon of the AIM-9 deplete over time, causing an overheat of the seeker?
Jon: We will initially offer the AIM-9M and AIM-9X. The AIM-9X has an internal closed-loop cooling system and doesn't need to be externally cooled by either argon (USAF) or nitrogen (US Navy). The AIM-9M uses a nitrogen bottle housed in the launch rail, and an IR cool switch in the cockpit can be used to override the automatic cooling cycle. The Superbug has never simulated the need to start/stop cooling, but we can certainly consider the option to degrade the sensor if cooling is overridden.
David: Is the option to cool or uncool the missile available?
Jon: Currently, no.
David: Can a buddy lase for another aircraft dropping LGBs?
Jon: Yes. A laser pulse frequency in the form of a coded entry is established by the LDT aircraft and anyone with an LST on that code can slave to it as long as the quality of the spot isn't attenuated too much. This applies to AGM-65Es and all LGBs.
David: Does the laser have limitations where it will only be able to fire below 25K?
Jon: This is called atmospheric attenuation and in the real world it's a function of primarily absolute humidity and slant range rather than a set altitude. But the answer is definitely yes, we model limitations.
