FLIR/Optics modifications

[Apache-Cobra]

Just a little suggestion that you guys might wanna take note of; if it's possible to mod it, the thermal optics on the Abrams, LAV-25, and AH-1Z Viper (not 100% sure about the Viper but I'm pretty darn sure) should be in shades of green. The interface and text on all of the above mentioned vehicles should be in a light shade of green as well, with the exception of the Abrams and LAV crosshairs, which are a light-red color.

Currently FLIR in DR seems to be in a typical greyscale, and this is only the case with the UT3500 thermal scope that is currently in-game. It's just a little quirk that bothers me that I thought I should bring up here.

Certainly something we're going to take a stab at. The Abrams and LAV thermals are green, but the interface is white. The reticule in the Abrams is only red through the normal day sight (text remains green).

Abrams thermal (note that when at low magnification, the reticule is a box showing the FOV of the zoomed magnification, as it's primarily used for scanning for targets.)

I think the AH-1Z has grayscale like other choppers, all the footage I've seen is greyscale, but this may just be how it's recorded so it'll certainly be confirmed.

So yes, we're working on that, but finding good reference for a lot of these things is time consuming and tricky.

Thanks for those pics, you're correct. I was wondering a little bit about it after I posted, and it seems I did indeed remember incorrectly.

And the greyscale footage you see from helicopters is simply because the recording program does not record color, it's green as well. And I'm 100% sure that all of the interface is the same light green color as in the first pic you posted as well.

Great to see you're considering it though. Hopefully it can be modified fairly easily as this is one of those little things that annoys me quite a bit.
