Howdy folks!
We have another Experimental Build for you in our current Night Vision / Thermal Vision / Lasers / Lights adventure. The focus this week was in fixing some major issues we ran into with Floating point precision and jittering of the Night Vision view. Now that that's fixed, we were able to do a scene that was both huge, and relied on Night Vision to see!
All of the features we're working on here are still very WIP (especially the new Laser/Light UI), so do please report any problems you run into. We're aware of some HMD-specific rendering issues with the NVGs as well that we're still trying to figure what on earth is causing. Your patience is appreciated :-)
