Maxx Pro practically invisible to Mavericks. Su-25T thermal vision pod not working?

[Flogger23m]

Using the AGM-65D and AGM-65G in the F-16 and F-18, and I noticed it is almost impossible to spot the Maxx Pros. They are essentially invisible. To be visible I need to get roughly within .3 miles, but that time you have to pull up or you will crash. If you try and fly level it will be impossible to spot them as it will be out of the seeker's visibility/seeker limit. I had placed a number of them in a convoy, around 8 or so, and they are impossible to spot although other similar sized vehicle will show up fine, like hummers.

 

Also, is the Su-25T thermal vision pod ( cannot recall the name) no longer working? No matter the map or time, when using it the screen is essentially whited out and illegible. I preferred using that to the standard black/white internal optical TV in the Su-25T but it seems like it no longer works.

Bump, wondering if anyone else is having these issues. Particularly for the Su-25T.

Probably doesn't have a proper IR map yet.

That is too bad. Su-25T is kind of broken currently. Game is crashing a lot to now. Essentially unplayable. Regret wasting money on the new modules. I guess the idea is you spend money and loose functionality for older planes.

Take off the tin foil hat and upload dcs.log - we can look for the crash cause.

Some users report problems with LLTV of Su-25T but if you're using it in a daylight it can be all white as expected - because it's light enhancing, not thermal. Also make sure you run DCS MT preview.

Looks like they changed how it works recently. In the most recent patch it went from being white to black as well. Kind of useless because regardless of time of day it is black. Day, night, low light. Pitch black.
