Destinate Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 it seems the flir doesn't work probably in 2.5, the vehicles that I spot are not bright enough, or am I wrong ? Atm I cant identify any targets through the forest...
Warmbrak Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 That is interesting; I watched a video that Ralfi posted yesterday showing the A-10C targeting pod FLIR, and the vehicles appeared to stand out pretty well. Something appears to be amiss here.
Airj247 Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 (edited) I found the flir is amazing now, I can actually spot vehicles now easily, are you sure your using the flir mode in the tpod? edit: just saw the spoilers now Edited February 1, 2018 by Airj247 I was inverted B)
Karon Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 I found the flir is amazing now, I can actually spot vehicles now easily, are you sure your using the flir mode in the tpod? He's using both BH and WH, check the spoilers. The best part of 2.5 is not really the brightness of the vehicles but the lack of that old ubiquitous background noise. If you were used to the old FLIR then spotting in 2.5 is super easy.

Sephyrius Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 Hasn't there been talk about how FLIR (and aircraft monitor outputs in general) are affected by the gamma settings? Might be why.
Destinate Posted February 1, 2018 Author Posted February 1, 2018 I found the flir is amazing now, I can actually spot vehicles now easily even through the forest in 2.5? I mean they are easy to spot, if they stand on an empty field, but not in a forest, because they have near the same color brightness as the enviroment and I think thats not correct in 2.5 at this point but I don't know how the tpod in rl is working, so I just guess how it should be :P
QuiGon Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 Hasn't there been talk about how FLIR (and aircraft monitor outputs in general) are affected by the gamma settings? Might be why. Yes, the radar screen of the Viggen was pretty unreadable for me before I adjusted my gamma values. Might be the same problem here.

iLOVEwindmills Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 That is interesting; I watched a video that Ralfi posted yesterday showing the A-10C targeting pod FLIR, and the vehicles appeared to stand out pretty well. Something appears to be amiss here. He was also playing with winter textures, it still seems to be about contrast and there were no changes to the FLIR system. So if units don't contrast against their background FLIR won't be much help currently.
Destinate Posted February 1, 2018 Author Posted February 1, 2018 so there is no chance for me to "fix" this problem ?
QuiGon Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 so there is no chance for me to "fix" this problem ? Well, have you tried to adjust your gamma setting?

Soundwave197 Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 For me after the flir got that green filter it was useless gecause is couldnt see anything anymore. Its one blurry green picture. Same with the Mavs, Dmt and TGP feed but not as bad as the flir PC: i7 6700K - GTX980ti - ASUS Z170P D3 - 32GB DDR3 - Samsung 850Evo - 5TB HDD Displays: BenQ RL2455HM - Acer Pred.

Sedlo Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 I've got similar issues with the Harrier FLIR and HUD projections... Either too dark, or way too white. I brought it up as an issue with 2.2 and apparently my issue is to do with the shaders. ED is aware. Deferred shading off fixes it, but makes the sim look not so good.

MustanGrande Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 At least you HAVE flir. My TGP, DMT and Maverick are totally blank in 2.5.

Buckeye Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 could you send us a picture of that? I just want to see, how it looks for you I'm sitting at the airport to catch a flight to Palm Beach for the next 5 days, so you'd probably be better off having someone else do that. Sorry!

kreisch Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 I just tested and at least flir does not work when using deferred shading and msaa. Without I can use it and did not encounter issues like you - yet Gesendet von meinem F5121 mit Tapatalk Ugly-Squadron GamestarPinboard
Zarma Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 I have deferred shading but no MSAA. FLIR is working but dark. Should be better when we get the possibility to change the settings like in the A10C. i9 9900k, 64 Go RAM, RTX 4090, Warthog HOTAS Throttle & Stick, Virpil AH64 collective, TPR rudder, MFD Cougar, Trackir 5 Pro, Multipurpose UFC, Alain Dufour's TEDAC and Oculus Rift S (when I want some VR), http://www.twitch.tv/zarma4074 / https://www.youtube.com/user/Zarma4074
Karon Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 It does work with DS and MSAA (tested both 8x and 4x). I have posted a pic in the TPOD thread and yes, targets are now really easy to spot (ofc it's not perfect yet but a very welcome improvement over previous versions). I have deferred shading but no MSAA. FLIR is working but dark. Should be better when we get the possibility to change the settings like in the A10C. Controls are there, although not simulated yet.
