I've been having this issue for a long time now (can´t remember if this happened in 1.2).
When using the daylight optical targeting systems, everything looks good.
But whenever I try to use infrared in any aircraft, be it the Su-25T with mercury pod, the A-10C with the FLIR modes or the Gazelle's IR, the ground changes. At night it is like if the map was illuminated by direct sunlight. It also affects cloud shadows, even at day. I haven't seen anyone talk about any bug similar to this, so I'll assume there is something wrong with my setup. Any help on what could be causing this behavior?
Screenshots:
1-Gazelle with normal camera
2-Gazelle with normal camera, nvg looking good
3-Gazelle with IR camera, all map illuminated
4-Gazelle with IR camera, all map illuminated, nvg unusable, like daylight
5-A-10C with litening's CCD
6-A-10C with litening's black hot, all map illuminated, look outside cockpit
7-A-10C with litening's white hot, the same
8-Su-25T with Mercury LLTV pod, all map looks illuminated, but vehicles, buildings or aircraft remain dark.
Looking at the last picture is clear it only affects the ground lighting but not objects in map, making anything look black and stick out, ruining all interest of night missions. Also, the map remains like that in any mission unless I quit and restart DCS.
Any ideas that could help?
Thanks
