Cannot adjust Focus even after remap of Joystick Buttons for my X-56. 2023-03-02 20-39-29.mp4

What happened to my thermals?? I can barely make out targets at 2000m..EVERYTHING is like a deep green fog, day sights are blurred...

I hope not. Until then, I'll just chalk up black hot as useless.

Some changes will be made with the next patch. Some of the videos I saw of the T-72B3 thermal imager were, however, rather atrocious. Maybe some are better, suggesting a high variance in factory output, or that the devices are fragile, or tjose videos simply were an exceptional case and don't represent the majority of cases. We would certainly be willing to reconsider in the light of new evidence, as always.

Not here to beat a dead horse but the T-72B3 thermal is awful like that. I am aware that russian military equipment has proven to be less advanced than expected but this is essenially useless isn't it? I appreciated the effort to make the game/simulation realistic but I think this didn't work out as planned. Thermals that don't offer brightness and contrast adjustment aren't very good right now. On the other side with the Leopard 2 it feels like cheating. The CITV can be adjusted to show the entire world, but still make enemy vehicles glow like a christmas tree. Here a comparison between the T-72B3 TIS and the Leopard 2A5 CITV. On one I can see all the of the tress and the terrain AND all targets glow. On the other I can barely see the target, let alone make out what the world looks like.

So just to clarify and explain situation - the video provided here was on a cold day (20-30F), SB's sky is currently the opposite extreme, so we will try to get it in between. It shouldn't be too hard to address. 👍

outstanding graphics enhancement for daysight optics / reticles 👍

Has the TIS Brightness adjustments been implemented for the Abrams? If not the current TIS is very bright and not hard to make out. Is there a way to turn down the brightness?

After this "horrible" scenario with this new version, we had only issues. Re-joining the scearnio was like impossible or at least a few players had problems to re-join. The thermal imiging device "WBG" i still had to calibrate again after i just switch to commander position and then back again. And we would have to re-skript all scenarios again to the New version, bcs there are lots off things they dont work when u dont change some new settings for the 4.37. We will test it on sunday again. Otherwise we (us germans) decide to re-install the older version 4.36 again, bcs this one worked way better than this actual one. I hope you guys can fix it very very soon

Good to hear that. I don’t doubt that the T-72B3 doesn’t use the best thermal sight but I must assume it’s better than this. And this is certainly true for the M1A2 which has a rather unrealistically bad CITV and TIS right now. But again, I appreciate the effort you guys make.

I am not sure I explained it correctly... I am saying that the temperature is NOT dynamic right now. Its a sort of generic situation where the sky is hot. So, like vehicles that do not get brighter or darker with their activity, we have a sort of generic one size fits all temperature for everything. The military essentially complained about this with the sky being too dark/cold, so given that we are representing things in a non-dynamic way right now, we probably made the sky too hot (too far the other way). The solution would be something in between to get it "OK" in both hot and cold situations, until we can do something that is actually dynamic. So, in other words, I am not disagreeing with you here; we will look into it. But I am trying to make it clear that its about making it look "better", and less washed out, while at the same time giving some temperature to the sky too rather than pitch black, in an attempt to find a middle ground between too hot and too cold. It will take a few tweaks to get there, I am sure, but that is the nature of big changes like this. Hopefully that makes more sense.

Not all of them. Here are the ones listed in the release notes. High Res Map UIDs.txt

Well, in old versions there was no grenade launcher option for the Cobra, so 4.377 does the right thing when preserving legacy scenarios in the way they were, by reducing the ammo to 0. For new scenarios, the ammo default is "not zero". But old ones - yeah, you got to adjust if you want the new capability.

Incompatibility with drivers (I don't know if nVidia GeForce GPU, or some other). When he got the PC, he installed Win10, but he was unable to finish installation of some driver. He gave the PC to customer service and they told him that it is not working under Win10 anymore and that he has to use Win11. There are also some performance restrictions when using Win10 with that hardware: When doing a research about the hardware, we found out that Win11 is better handling the DDR5 RAM (5 FPS difference, not much, but noticeable). There is also something with Intel's 12th generation CPU and Win11. They handle it better than Win10, giving some better performance from it.

You have D company as reserves and I don’t believe you need any custom maps as I tried to stick with the default maps

The Range Symbols in the GPS are flashing between 4000 and 5000 meters even though it is still within the Ballistic Solution Ranges. 2023-03-02 20-27-28.mp4

If you give it a tight target arc (the purple shading) and ensure the LOS bubble is clear and on the tgt then it tends to only fire on that selected building / area.

... and it's still at 4.377 😭🤬🥵

A spot in Leo 2 please. Also @Lumituisku Evil can gun for me if he wants.

Hope your power is back in time for the Germans.

Welcome to the club.

Just installed 4.377. Still lovin' the heat blur. Would love it if, in future updates, its persistence would be affected by temperature and wind. Also, can't wait for the intensity of the illuminated daylight reticles to be adjustable.

A22. if allowed ive got a buddy of mine who is going to be gunner (me: "Cactus" being TC)

Thanks, yes, the good news is that it looks like its a visual issue only (like you said). The FCS still calculates out to 5000m, but range flashes between 4000-5000m (like on the M1 / M1A1s).

alright, let me rephrase then: Just need 6 months of not working on all sorts of other shit, and it'll be done. T-72 interior was 600 hours by the by. in that same time period i can make 3-4 exterior models.

In case there is no one willing to CO this i can do it. I do have a proposal though. Anyone new who would like to give a try as CO i will help to form a plan and will help as XO. Or even taking over if it gets too overwhelming. We have great platoon leaders and players. I highly recommend new guys to give it a go. This is challenging mission as numbers if enemies were facing but terrain is favorable. To us. And we have amble amount of forces too.

I was downloading but a storm rolled through and lost power. Ah well.
