Chad Vader Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tholozor Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Top image is in CCD, bottom image is in FLIR. The pod uses a different camera for those modes with different resolutions.

Chad Vader Posted March 19, 2022 Author Share Posted March 19, 2022 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Tholozor Posted March 19, 2022 Solution Share Posted March 19, 2022 (edited) 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.

Chad Vader Posted March 19, 2022 Author Share Posted March 19, 2022 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 Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Correct, that number is the yardstick value. Range to target is displayed as the TGT value.

Zarma Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 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. i9 9900k, 64 Go RAM, RTX 4090, Warthog HOTAS Throttle & Stick, Saitek Combat Rudder, MFD Cougar, Trackir 5 Pro, Multipurpose UFC and Oculus Rift S (when I want some VR), http://www.twitch.tv/zarma4074 / https://www.youtube.com/user/Zarma4074 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
