Decrease the fidelity on the TGP image, making things fuzzier as a result. As a tradeoff, allow for another zoom level.
#Change TGP quality

Example footage from another post - The TGP should not be lowered to a quality this low, but something just not as clear as it is now.
This isn't for the sake of making things easier/harder, but to look cooler

Honestly this would be nice as all the images are a bit too defined for my liking
reef elm
Yeah, maybe make the f-45 better quality than the others though
Idk the quality irl but I assume its higher quality since they spent a ton of money on the sapphire
"affordable" yeah ok

same as above image ⬇️

all of these images are from Lockheed Martin's website I don't play Warthunder enough to leak things

daaamn, night and day

daaamn, night and day
from my understanding they are both the F-35's EOTS
but it has different modes depending on range from target
there is also a HIGHER quality "near IR" which they havent shown from what I can see
Maybe its between a new and old version of EOTS? idk im a bit confused someone can correct me

agree ^

He gave NVGs film grain, maybe he’d want to make the tgp a lil more realistic too

that's cool, id assume it still has exposure weirdness, like when a bomb hits something, the camera adjusts which makes everything dark for a second
I don't think making any worse in quality would be good, but adding exposure effects and whatnot would be great
night creek
forgot about that

I think this is something that could be done.. we got grain effects for night vision and I think it made a big difference

Yeah

I suspect baha uses render texture and a separate camera for the TGP and its display, meaning it could be done with a simple post processing modifier
reef elm

I want to add to this because I'm doing more research, apparently the F-35's EOTS does have a resolution increase, but exact info is spotty. Lockheed Martin's website lists the F-35's screen as 2560x1024 (weird ass resolution), so I assume the image quality of the EOTS is similar
also, the HMD display seems to be 720p
strange, it also says HMD is monochromatic which I don't think is true because it can at least display green also

There's also narrow fov modes
So technically you could get what this post wants by just using narrow fov

I'm pretty sure the air force dulls down the quality of the tgp before releasing it to the public

I mean we aren't using them as much of a basis anyways bahas mostly just using the concepts and making his own based on what it would likely perform like

Eyes 👀

so many eyes

This probably means that baha finished a large portion of the update and bug fixes and is now getting to doing suggestions
If an aircraft is coming, I predict we will get a teaser in the menu sooner rather than later
hexed matrix
Wouldn’t it make sense to make this update bug fixes only and work on new features for next update? Wouldn’t you bug fix at the end of a dev cycle?
rustic kite

Recently the public testing client has been pretty much only bug fixes, so now that he’s gotten that round of fixes out of the way he’s likely doing suggestions, then more bug fixes on the suggestions, then release

Awww man

or he's gonna release 1.12
and all this can be 1.13
or later
eyes don't mean "soon" or "next"

ye, i assume that eyes mean "interesting" or like they are used to mark stuff that caught baha's attention. doesnt mean it will be implemented, let alone implemented soon

sniper pod
do the TGP1 and TGP2 even have a difference?
is it like gimbal limit or range or smthing?

TGP2 (Sniper) is like the F-45 EOTS. I have zero idea the difference between that one and the Litening
exotic chasm

visual. the TGP1 looks like shit (at longer ranges) when compared to the TGP2/EOTS (which is intended i think)
true sleet
Yeah cause it doesn't have the sky filter
rustic kite
They should give the 42 the sniper pod TGP frfr
Mostly because of just how heavily it relys on it as 1 of 2 sensors
primal locust

It has the sniper pod built in already lol
It has eots

No I wanna say it’s running the same TGP as the 26

the B-11 is what should get sniper pod, hurts to see a B-1 with a litening

No I meant that in the fact of that the 42 should just get the better of the 2 TGPs lmao
Or 3?
I wanna say the TADS is slightly better but lower zoom
primal locust
Tads? The 42 only has the eots and tads im psure just reuses the eots code with lower zoom level
Now pnvs
I would like pnvs

I meant that in the fact that the TADS on the 94 is a 3rd level
Because I wanna say it’s higher fidelity but lower zoom
But also, it really wouldn’t matter because they kinda feel the same fidelity wise
Either way, the 42 definitely does not use an EOTS level TGP
primal locust
I've not noticed any difference in quality among the sniper/eots/tads group it's just tgp 1 and literally it never gets used lol
primal locust

No not at all it's a little wild it gets eots ngl
Somthing like the tads would make more sense imop

Tads is far too short range for what the kestrel can pull off
If you really try (and have the patience) you can sling hellfires to like 24 Mi

Not really? Unless your like full sending it from like 20nm away they feel pretty similar

Well also keep in mind that it can get up to 40k ft and drop GPS bombs from fuckin narnia
If weather conditions permit
Hence why I think it should get the EOTS, to allow it to be more all weather
Because the EOTS has better all weather performance

Nothing really stops you from using gps s and making a go around 🤷♂️

Tru but it's such a minor issue in my mind lol

Designate all 8 targets on approach and drop all 8 without changing direction

Ngl I do a go around anyways because I'm oblivious and would like to send the bombs from as far away as I generally can

In using the kestrels TGP a little more, oh my good lord it needs the change to level 2 quality
It feels absolutely fucking impossible to find targets you don’t already know the location off
Deadass I have had several times today where I had to switch to color to actually see the target
The level 1 thermal doesn’t feel good at all to say the least, I do not know if it was nerfed or something but my god my eyes hurt trying to look through it
It feels like it might be legitimately easier if I have an F45 use their EOTS to lase targets that I can then lock my TGP to, and then work off of that
hexed matrix
Why not just have the AV-42C use the same TGP quality as all the rest of the craft
reef elm
AV42 try not to be ass challenge impossible
rustic kite
I am being completely deadass when i say that color is easier to see shit than day
Same applies to FA26
Does not apply to 94 or 24
45 doesnt have a training range so i didnt check
im all for the TGPs being fuzzy and realistic, but the quality is near unusable in comparison to reality
The litening pod legitamately has an easier view
and once again, thats an A10 targeting pod
and f18
and literally everything
