epoch Posted June 13, 2020 Posted June 13, 2020 Am I supposed to be blinded when the TGP gets masked by the airframe at night?

Arbil Posted June 15, 2020 Posted June 15, 2020 I get the same thing but it only seems to happen in FLIR white hot mode.
Roosterfeet Posted June 16, 2020 Posted June 16, 2020 Flying Stable 2.5.6.49798 and I'm having the same problem with the FLIR in WHT mode. I've found a work around though. I put my FLIR image on the AMPCD (bottom display) and it's much easier to see. The image doesn't get blown out (even by fire and smoke) and the text overlay is always legible. The only problem is, I can't switch to ATRK or PTRK from the AMPCD, that only works with the left or right DDI. Still, I can get business done without the new tracking modes. 5800x3D, rtx4070, Quest3 (sometimes)
Furiz Posted June 16, 2020 Posted June 16, 2020 (edited) Happens in F16 too, maybe all planes? Was aiming at the waypoint on the ground, Flir image, whot was black screen so I switched to bhot and I got this. same goes for F18. Edited June 16, 2020 by Furiz
Biga42 Posted June 16, 2020 Posted June 16, 2020 This A10 at night, impossible to see anything in TAD nor TGP inside cockpit. I have 3 monitors, 1 for left MPCD and another for TGP. The strange is, I can see in these monitors what I cant in cockpit. DCS latest release and Nvidia Latest drivers.
Harker Posted June 16, 2020 Posted June 16, 2020 I'm not convinced this is so much a bug (OK, the bloom effect could be adjusted) as much automatic gain and level not working. I've been able to get a good night picture in FLIR, but only by manually adjusting these settings. As for the TAD in the A-10C, adjusting the MFCD brightness and contrast also helps a lot.

Roosterfeet Posted June 16, 2020 Posted June 16, 2020 Can you manually adjust the level and gain in the F18? The switches at the corner of the DDI don't seem to do anything right now. 5800x3D, rtx4070, Quest3 (sometimes)
Furiz Posted June 16, 2020 Posted June 16, 2020 Well the problem is, that when you go BHOT on the flir, something burning, if you focus it, will turn black and the rest, because it is cold will go white bright, it shouldn't go bright, it should be greyish.
Biga42 Posted June 16, 2020 Posted June 16, 2020 I've realized that all images in my 2 others monitors are quite good, the problem is what is shown in cockpit. I had this problem with the AV8B, but since patch 2.5.6.49798 it was fixed: MPCD + HUD Night mode update wondering what they did to fix it...
Harker Posted June 16, 2020 Posted June 16, 2020 Can you manually adjust the level and gain in the F18? The switches at the corner of the DDI don't seem to do anything right now. Yes. If you're in FLIR mode, unbox ALG and then if you press the OSB next to ZOOM, it'll change to LEVEL and then you can use the Up/Down arrows to change the level setting. A further press of that OSB will change LEVEL to GAIN and the you can adjust the gain setting. A further press will return you to ZOOM. ALG (automatic level and gain) should be adjusting these by itself in order to ensure that all/most of the output falls within certain limits (so you'd get a good picture), but that's not working in any DCS aircraft, AFAIK. Right now, ALG just stays at LEVEL 6, GAIN 3 (IIRC) and that's it. The vCVW-17 is looking for Hornet and Tomcat pilots and RIOs. Join the vCVW-17 Discord.

Furiz Posted June 16, 2020 Posted June 16, 2020 Tried out the TPOD on f18 and that glare only comes up when tpod view is obscured by the aircraft or a weapon. F18 TPOD glare.trk
Roosterfeet Posted June 17, 2020 Posted June 17, 2020 Thanks Harker! I completely missed that. 5800x3D, rtx4070, Quest3 (sometimes)
