Player's view zoom affects FLIR sensor's hot spot detection

[jubuttib]

Noticed this while trying to get a hang of the gain and contrast controls on the Harrier. When you zoom your view (not the sensor, just your cockpit view) all the way in towards the MFD showing the FLIR sensor, the hot spot detection results change.

Images taken in active pause, only thing that changes between them is how zoomed in my view is:

First image is zoomed out slightly, two groups of units are consistently being detected by the FLIR, and marked. The markers flicker around a bit, but they stay perfectly on the groups.

Second image is zoomed all the way in. The groups are no longer being detected by the hot spot detection, instead it's just kinda randomly sprinkling the markers around every now and then. A lot of the time it's not detecting anything.

I concur, I do have the same behavior.

I wonder if this affects the IRMav and the TPOD contrast lock, could this be why some people complain about poor locks?
