Those were basic FLIR images, default so to speak. There is no problem to tune it while sparking up the plane. It's not perfect, but close enough. There are lots of things in Arma2 OA, which looks good, A10 cockpit thou isn't one of them.
Before it escalates, here is a real life TGP Litening II images. As you can see not that much different from what you have in the sim.
:huh:
