It feels like it works in infrared mode (or something like this) and not in TV

Can confirm, the shkval is broken again. And the LLTV is also broken, its pitch black in the dark, like in your 3rd picture. Almost feels like that glitch with Single Thread mode.

Seems like two weeks later this issue is still not solved

The issue is also affecting the A-10A. The maverick's camera also turns completely dark during night/dusk, even if you aim it at an illuminated area.

Its also not giving any contrast for the 65D on hot targets both during the day and night. In this track there is a vehicle moving on the taxiway, even though its hot and illuminated with flares, the screen picks up nothing. During the day the 65D is basically as useful as any other non-IR camera.

So F-18`s FLIR doesn`n work properly either?

Since the update, the Su-25T Shkval screen is too dark to be usable! Without any brightness and contrast adjustment it has been rendered useless! Please fix it! I pay good money to ED for usable, flyable aircraft. The least they can do is check they all still work after an update!

FYI: Su-25T is a free aircraft and the issue is already reported.

Regarding th edark Shkval in th eSu-25T; Is it possible to change the values in "Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Bazar\shaders\MaterialFactory\mfd151.hlsl* temporarily, pending a fix?

You're free to mess with the files on your own PC.

Yes, I know it's free, but the other thirty planes I paid for weren't. So as it's free, is that a reason for ED not to fix it?

No, it's not, I just found it weird to mention you pay good money in a free aircraft thread.

Regarding your response, sure, I know I can screw up my own PC, but I was merely searching for a temporary, usable solution. Editing the file is beyond my expertise so I was just putting it out should someone be able to advise.

Regarding EDs obligation to offer workable aircraft, free or otherwise - I know that DCS are a close knit community. That does not detract from the fact that ED are a profit making organisation and they have an obligation to offer aircraft. and other assets, fit for purpose. The Ad didn't say, "Free Su-25T, but it might not work".

You won't see it in ads but you've accepted it in the license agreement, 3.3

A better argument would be "ED should really care about their free sample, because a free sample that leaves a bad taste may lose you a lot of potential customers"

folks enough with the back and forth, its a bug report thread. It looks like it has been reported, if and when there is a fix it will be in a future change log. 

thank you
