hawa0835 Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 The FLIR image not look good, you can't see anything, especially in BH and WH, and the text on the screen is almost "invisible", and this applies to both Litening II and ATFLIR.

Tholozor Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 Have you tried adjusting the BRT and CONT knobs on the DDI, or using manual level or gain controls in the pod itself?

Adjusting levels to extreme works but we shouldn't have to. I have to set levels to 9 for White hot and 2 for Black hot. And the settings are not saved for each so I have to adjust them whenever I switch.

Not sure how far into infrared technology ED went with this last update, however IRL gains and levels (Brightness and contrast) must be adjusted constantly, its based of frequencies of light, which vary from location to location, temperatures, atmospheric conditions such as temp/dewpoint spread, fog, etc. Asus ROG Maximus X Apex//Core I7 8700K @ 5.3Ghz //32GB DDR4 RAM//Asus 3090 RTX//4K monitor w/ TrackIR 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fagulha Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 Tested both F-16/F-18, night/day, ATFLIR, just fiddling with Brightness and contrast ( used MAN LVL too) as usually i do, and see no major issues. And AFAIK it´s independent in each MFD as in real airframes (VR user). But that´s me. - "Don't be John Wayne in the Break if you´re going to be Jerry Lewis on the Ball".

Missions I used BH, I now have to use WH and vice versa. 1 Better Smoke - Better Trees Caucasus - Better Trees Syria - Better Trees Mariana - Clear Canopy Glass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBStu Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 I know it might be considered a bit of a cheat but, when I can't see what I think I should be able to, I hit active pause. Then I try out every adjustment and every view option I can find. It is amazing how these change things. One mission using ATFLIR I need to take out two trucks parked next to a Mig. There are some combinations of adjustments where I can't even see the trucks. In the same mission I need to take out two SAM launchers. I slowly figured out that I need to fly higher to get more range for the JDAMs so I can stay out of the SAM range. Otherwise the smoke created by a SAM launch completely blocks visibility and I have to fly around waiting for the smoke to clear. I found here too that some combinations of adjustments let me see 'through' the smoke better than others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
