Apocalypse31 Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 (edited) What it currently looks like in a vehicle. No amount of tweaking can make this look like anything decent or even remotely resembling a modern-day MBT's thermal imaging package. And what's up with our binoculars now? There was a very brief period where we had decent thermals for vehicles but that time has long passed. We've been stuck with this for ages! It's awful and un-usable!

Wychmaster Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 There are key bindings to increase/decrease the brightness and gain of the IR View. The default settings are garbage. You need to increase the gain by a significant amount and adjust the brightness acordingly. Then you get really nice results (not compareable to a real tank thermal, but decent enough). Used it last friday in a test and was able to spot enemy armor and Infantry really easy even though they were hidden in the tree lines. Only problem is the current auto-brightness that changes dependent on zoom level and elevation of the optic. You need to adjust the brightness pretty often. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apocalypse31 Posted August 1, 2023 Author Share Posted August 1, 2023 I'm aware of the adjustment settings but it looks like crap and nothing like a thermal imaging system. 16 hours ago, Wychmaster said: You need to adjust the brightness pretty often. This shouldn't be the case. I wish we could just get this fixed.....after 12 years. 2 TankSim Discord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apocalypse31 Posted November 23, 2023 Author Share Posted November 23, 2023 @NineLine Is there any update here? Vehicle thermal imagers still look terrible. Switching to Binos gets a much better thermal image than a tank gun site. 1 TankSim Discord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ED Team NineLine Posted January 11 ED Team Share Posted January 11 Sorry, I will check this out. I know its a pain or doesn't seem important, but always include a track so I can see exactly what you were seeing or the view/unit/etc. Thanks 1 2 Forum Rules • My YouTube • My Discord - NineLine#0440• **How to Report a Bug** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vakarian Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Harrier default gain/brightness settings for MPCDs are not ideal. You really should play with them to get the correct contrast (it's been a while, not sure if they implemented grayscale so you can use it for calibration) and then stuff should start appearing on the MPCDs.

SlipHavoc Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Also be sure to set the "Res. of Cockpit Displays" setting in the config menu to either 1024 or 1024 Every Frame. That can greatly affect the quality of what you see on MFDs and other screens in the game, as well as cockpit mirrors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This doesn't look good at all and is not representative of thermal imaging. Also - why is there such a difference in the tanks GPS versus the binocular sight?
