cannot reproduce and missing track file Atflir Rendering Issue

[AndyB]

I need some help. In VR in the F-18, for some reason I can't actually identify what I'm looking at in the atflir until I'm with in 3-4 or so miles and sometimes closer. The image is clear, not blurry, it just doesn't seem to fully render until I'm with in those ranges. Typically at 20,000ft asl in a 10 mile orbit. I'm in IR mode, I turn off alg, manipulate the gain, contrast, brightness, and the one above gain(sry forgot what it was called) and just cannot make out what I'm looking at. I can see big bombers from a little farther out but smaller targets like technicals, infantry, or even tanks, I have to be damn near on top of them to have any detail to see them. I'm thinking it's a setting issue of some kind somewhere. Or maybe I'm doing something wrong in the Hornet.

Update: what I thought was a clear image in the Rift S has been overwritten by the quality of the Quest 3. I now realize it was in fact not even close to being clear. I have no issues now.
