Sniper Pod - lack of focus makes it nearly unusable at night

[Posohm]

Hello

It seems like the non XR IR image in the Sniper is a little too fuzzy in non XR modes. Could you please look into this?

Here is a screenshot of a T80 tank column at 10 nm.

nullHere's a comparative video - pilots state that their seeing "breakout" at 11nm - note that they do *not* appear to be in XR mode.

Hello,

Are you sure you are showing right video ? It looks like video presented is actually AN/ASQ-228 ATFLIR. Just being tested on F-16 and F-15 by Edwards.

Fair shout - here´s more videos and shots from those vids - as one can clearly see ( no pun intended) the contrast difference is huge, and that's at around 12nm in couple of those shots in NON XR. Its as if our TGP has a layer of grease covering the lens.

Even on Lockheed Martin's video IR images are blurry compared to what we are used with previous Lightening pod. I agree that sniper pod IR image is a bit more blurry in DCS than real life footage (but only non XR), still not that much to be unplayable.

I disagree, if you look at the DCS shot there, you can barely tell there's an IR signature there. Now minimize the picture to what you would see in VR or at a normal zoom level in 2d - you´ve got yourself a nearly useless image, you can´t even tell the number of blobs there, let alone that they are tank

I did not have such bad image when I was playing with Sniper pod. I'll try again.
