[ALREADY REPORTED]FLIR and MAV displays unusable when smoke around - any progress?

[imacken]

Now, I know this has been reported here https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=287398 and elsewhere, and I know I shouldn't ask, but is there any progress on this, BN?

 

At the moment these are unusable for me when there is any smoke around. Pretty fundamental bug to fix, I would have thought.

Have you tried the workaround of putting smoke density to 0 (or 1 iirc)?

[imacken]

Yep, makes no difference.

Yeah, I've tried setting smoke density to 0 and Heat Blur to Off, as suggested in another thread, cleared fxo and metashaders2 etc, I still get two versions of the problem (smoke looks blobby but doesn't saturate the FLIR and smoke saturates the FLIR, but without seeing the smoke blob). Not all the time, sometimes it's good, sometimes it's one of the two problems. Zero idea on what actually causes it and it's not 100% reproducible.

Yep, I used to be the same, however, in the last week or so, it is 100% reproducible for me. Clearing out shaders makes no difference any more.

Hi

 

It is reported, I dont have any progress update for you yet.

 

The team is working on new IR in DCS so I am not sure if it will be held up by that progress.

 

thanks

Thanks BN, I appreciate the update.

I found if you point the maverick at the smoke as you activate the display there is no or little bloom. if you activate display when pointing above horizon (light sky) is when the smoke displays incorrectly.

Using this mission everytime I start a DCS session to test if bug is present or not. (FA18, TGP in FLIR mode on WP1, use F10 to create an explosion)

 

If bug is there, most of the time, just restarting DCS is enough. If not, I delete fxo and metashader2 folders.

 

Really strange and annoying bug.
