it is possible, all u have to do is find the optik modle of the NV goggles and use it as optik model of your gun, if you want to change the sight, all u have to do is merge the nv sight with the one u want.

okay but how do I do that

merging sights...such a new concept...I'm also wondering as to how you do so?

[GalComT]

Open the sight model in O2, which gives you a flat square, than open up the optik model u want to merge it with, than paste it in and move it right in front of it so that its almost one now save it as ur optikmodel and u'll see that it works.

Try it

Or:
You can find the textures used in the P3D optik files and create edited versions of them. Then you can simply use one of the p3d texture tools to add them back onto the optik model. Basically:
Find the Optik files
Open them up in P3Dtex
Find the names of the .paa or .pac files used,
find them (they're in data.pbo i think)
use PSP or something to merge the two together
save the new file
save it into the p3d optik file (either one)
use this optik as your new gunsight.

This method is slightly more complicated but can give just as impressive results (if not better). There are quite a few good examples of this out there on the internet. Even the bizon in OFP is actually one of the pac files edited (not the p3d file itself) so even BIS use this. But if you are happy with O2 then you can use the above method also.

Hope that made sense.
