razo+r Posted October 21, 2023 Posted October 21, 2023 The IR pointer is visible at any time. Even during the day.
LePaul Posted October 21, 2023 Posted October 21, 2023 I've seen this in multiple aircraft (AV-8B, A-10A and F-16). Flying on a 4YA Server that has a JTAC overhead, I keep seeing a long vertical black line that stays for several seconds. On the pro side, it sure makes a great waypoint to fly to traget! i wasn't sure where to report this so here it is!
brodie4598 Posted October 22, 2023 Posted October 22, 2023 Saw the same thing on TTI - I almost thought it was the designation laser from a drone somehow appearing in broad daylight
-Scrat- Posted October 22, 2023 Posted October 22, 2023 +1 Same for the JTAC when using ground units. It's rellay anoying !
TheKardinal Posted October 22, 2023 Posted October 22, 2023 (edited) I have seen this too - Grayflag and on a single player TTI mission - it appears to be the laser from JTACs - I don’t know why it is suddenly appearing - but I have never seen it before 2.9 update. I have, like many people turned on DLSS and been messing with a number of settings - feels somewhat likely that this is a result of something in 2.9. I use Pimax crystal i9 with 4090 GPU - open XR render scale at 120% - DLSS on with performance setting - SSS on or off(still seen either way) shadows on high and terrain shadows at default.

Rex854Warrior Posted October 29, 2023 Posted October 29, 2023 (edited) Hello, It is possible to see IR beams/spots to the naked eye (no NVGs required) since the 2.9 update. The beam itself appears in a faint white color from the emitter to the target while the spot is a very visible white light on target. Attached is a mission to reproduce the issue, a very simple script (also attached) takes care of creating an lR spot between a drone (emitter) and a moving ground vehicule (target) every 5 seconds. So in the end you can retrace the entire path of the vehicule with the white dots near the ground and can see a large white plume composed of each beam descending from the drone towards the ground. NOTE : the beams are much easier to see against a dark background such as the dark blue sky above the drone.

rob10 Posted October 29, 2023 Posted October 29, 2023 Do a search and you will find this has been reported and acknowledged multiple times already. A search should be the first thing anyone does before reporting a problem (especially this far out from an update) as a lot of the obvious issues like this get noticed and reported early on. 1

Cueball Posted October 31, 2023 Posted October 31, 2023 Since the update I can see the laser in broad day light. From the drone all the way to the target. It's a thin black line. Don't know if it is do to new settings or what. But found it humorous think wow VR got really sharper.

Thank you for your courtesy, and taking the time to be unhelpful. I did not look in the whole forum and this is a pretty weird place for this report. This is also not wasted e-ink as the original thread is lacking elements to reproduce the bug easily. Anyways, thank you Flappie and thank you Bignewy, sorry for the bother.

Also - the beams show up as black for me. They really stand out. Thanks, BigNewy. Love the cat avatar, reminds me of the Top Gun Maverick video on YouTube with the black cat For your entertainment - )
zildac Posted November 11, 2023 Posted November 11, 2023 Hi, Not sure if this has already been reported, but in the latest OB/MT in VR there is a visible black line from the JTAC to the currently lased target.

Rapierarch Posted November 13, 2023 Posted November 13, 2023 Guys can you find another solution like thread grouping or something like that in the forum. When you merge threads you actually cannot read it anymore. Who said what and when is all messed up. I guess there more than 2 threads were merged. This is terrible. Just a wish.
