LITENING II POD ZOOM

[Chad Vader]

Hi all,

 

First post, new ish to DCS and long time lurker.

I have a question about the TGP in the 18.  Specifically the zoom.

Take a look  at random guy on the internets picture of his TGP in action

(see image 1)

Then look at my TGP (image 2).  Im closer to the target (allbeit the target is smaller) but my resolution is awful and I cant zoom in anywhere near as far on 9x zoom NAR FOV.

Any ideas if this is a graphics setting or anything im doing wrong?

Thanks.

Top image is in CCD, bottom image is in FLIR. The pod uses a different camera for those modes with different resolutions.

Hey thanks for the reply! Yea I understand this but I was talking more about the zoom.  Top image is zoomed in way more with longer range.

[Tholozor]

Same reason. The lens of the CCD camera is not the same as the FLIR camera. It's also possible your first picture was taken a long time ago, things change during development.

Here's 2 screenshots taken from the exact same range in active pause.

I think im reading the range wrong.  I read the "to target" range as the range of the object targeted in the TPOD, when in fact its 7m and not 23.6m.  My picture is further away in fact.

[Tholozor]

Correct, that number is the yardstick value. Range to target is displayed as the TGT value.

I've recently upgraded my PC.  The issue was my screen resolution.  The FLIR is giving me great images now in 1440p/4k

Cockpit Display Resolution Options Change from 256 to 512 or 1024

First is lightning, your's is ATFLIR. Not same zoom level. Lightning has greater zoom but is numerical and should be blurred. Not simulated in DCS that's why the lightning is better than ATFLIR.

Both images are LITENING.
