Thermal Cueing Indicators: HUD TCIs

I did conduct a site:forums.eagle.ru foo search of the forum, but my search-fu appears to be weak, are HUD TCIs for night navigation planned? This being a great strength for night missions.

 

This looks like it could be quite a challenge to implement for having thermal cues to hotspots on terrain, unless terrain originating thermal cues already exist with the DCS' engine.

These cues are not just a night time element and on the GR7 were available all the time:

Yes of course, just highlighting their increased usefulness in the nighttime role.

 

I think it may be possible to cheat this feature, as the inverted carets tend to appear near or above marked peaks in approaching terrain, that of course being the apparent intended feature, but brought about by measured relative thermal differences.
