Shadow KT Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 (edited) Sooo I am not quite sure if this is the right place to post this or if this is actually a thing... but as I was flying on the 104th's Op.Leopard9 ( or whicever is with Reds spawning on Vaziani ) and there was something with wrong with the WHOT view on the TGP. Season on the mission is winter and the temp is -1 degrees. Going towards the TA and I switch on my TGP in WHOT mode and from I can figure the whole city was "on fire" Couldn't see jack shit in any of the FLIR modes so I had to use CCD. If I have to I can try to dig out the track P.S: I do not use any terrain mods. The closest thing to it is Mustang's shaders mod Edited November 6, 2014 by Shadow KT 'Shadow' Everybody gotta be offended and take it personally now-a-days

Man made objects different quite alot in temperature from the natural ones. Trees and grass don't retain the heat like concrete or metals so the contrast was much higher in these type conditions.

Well you are basiclly basiclly aggreeing with me on this one, eh ? As you can see the building and the terrain where all white (which means hot) so yeah....

Hansolo Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 IIRC then there isn't a correct FLIR mode moddeled in DCS, unfortunately :-( It's just a grey scale overlay of the original images. Too bad though. It help a little bit with trying to adjust Gain and Level Cheers Hans 132nd Virtual Wing homepage & 132nd Virtual Wing YouTube channel My DCS-BIOS sketches & Cockpit Album

It help a little bit with trying to adjust Gain and Level Cheers Hans I don't think it's just an overlay, there is a IR channel in game, although it's kinda static. It isn't very realistic - you can use it in every condition while for example, it is a known fact that this kind of sensor becomes nearly useless at certain times of the day (dawn and sunset basically - thermal exchanges between earth and atmosphere make flir displays a huge mess) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Intel i7 6700K @ 4.2, MSI M5 Z170A Gaming, NZXT X61 Kraken liquid cooler, PNY Nvidia GTX 1080 Founders Edition, 16GB Corsair Vengeance 3000 Mhz C15, samsung 840 evo SSD, CoolerMaster 1000W Gold rated PSU, NZXT Noctis 450 cabinet, Samsung S240SW 24' 1920x1200 LED panel, X-52 Pro Flight stick.

NeilWillis Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 The impossible they do at once, miracles just take a little longer. True, it isn't perfect, but within it's limitations, it is not unworkable. I'm sure if you ask ED nicely enough, they might just give it some attention down the line, but I'd hardly describe it as a bug at this stage, especially as we're about to see a big graphics upgrade in the coming months. Who knows what may be possible in the future under Edge?
