Teriander Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 (edited) This could be a matter of opinion, but I find the heat given off on targets in WHOT and CCD to be a little weak on the TGP. For example When I spot targets in the open, and Im looking at them in WHOT or CCD, their grayscale is extremely close to the patches of grass and dirt around them. As if their engines are off. Like I would not have noticed them if it wasn't for the outline of a vehicle. Now Im not saying they should be very white, like they are when they are burning (obviously because the fire is hot). But they should surely be hotter than a patch of grass. Espeically around the engine area. They should be at LEAST 40 degrees F hotter than the ground around them. This isn't a distance issue either. I could fly over the target area within 5 miles and have to really look hard for the vehicles that aren't destroyed even if they're on the screen. Its like looking for a needle in a haystack even with JTAC. Before you say "Use BHOT instead" Sometimes it helps, most times it doesn't. Like I said, it could be a matter of opinion, but I find it way too weak on the grayscale. Edited April 30, 2011 by Teriander Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BKLronin Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Same problem here. I prefer to have my targets on yellow fields all the time. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the meantime you might be able to enhance separation by tuning your FLIR gain and saturation parameters on the TGP MFCD page. Good, fast, cheap. Choose any two. Come let's eat grandpa!

636_Castle Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 I'd have to agree as far as the WHOT is concerned. I can't think of one time I've ever EVER used WHOT because of the same reason.

Sinky Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 I agree with the ground appearing just as hot as the vehicles. I can understand if a patch of land below the tank was hotter than usual but not the whole area. In daylight dropping levels down to 0 and upping the gain to 5 or 6 helps them stand out more.

Even if it cannot be shipped in the next patch, it's good to hear that ED is working on it anyway. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As always, no promises, the only thing that you should take from that is that ED recognize it as a bug. Good, fast, cheap. Choose any two. Come let's eat grandpa! Use punctuation, save lives!
