A3 Thermal Improvement

Description
Discord Link https://discord.gg/4ZegBaZ

This mod overhauls thermal vision modes allowing them to be used in all conditions.
It is designed to work with any targeting pod or CROWS. The mod does NOT currently work with Night Vision Goggles. That will come with a future update.

This mod CAN be used Client Side.

Press B while in Vanilla DTV mode to bring up A3TI thermal vision modes.
Press B while in Vanilla NVG mode to bring up A3TI Fusion mode.

Mission makers can disable A3TI vision modes by placing the following command in a vehicle's init:
this setVariable ["A3TI_Disable", true];

Current Features:
Can be run Client Side
MWIR White Hot
MWIR Black Hot
IR/NV Fusion
Laser Target Marker
Available in Zeus
High Definition Targeting Pod Options
Configurable Brightness/Contrast
Configurable CBA Options and Keybinds

How To:
Select Vanilla DTV and press the B key to cycle through the A3TI Vision Modes
Select Vanilla NVG and press the B key to cycle through Fusion Modes

To use the Laser Target Marker (LTM), cycle to NVG or A3TI fusion mode, fire your laser, then press L
The LTM can only be seen in NVG or Fusion modes
You can change the LTM between Flashing and Steady modes with Ctrl+L
All controls are configurable via CBA keybinds

Known Issues:

Some Modded Tanks may have visual bugs for the driver. There is a CBA option to disable A3TI enhancements for tank drivers to mitigate this.

Please report any bugs to our Discord #bugs channel https://discord.gg/4ZegBaZ

Origins and Credits:
This mod was originally developed by Pingopete to work with the USAF AC130U Gunship.
HateAndCaffeine jumped in and helped to convert it into a standalone mod for the game; providing huge realism improvements, testing and facilitating collaboration with other teams.
This mod could not have been officially released without Lala's awesome code rework and optimization; bringing a fully fledged (and stable) mod to the community.
We also want to extend a huge thanks to BigBearZ, Fat_Lurch, Raynor, and Yax.
Could not have made this mod without your incredible contributions.

Honorable mentions:
Huge thanks to Voldy for his tireless work hunting bugs
Thank you to Reyhard for their assistance getting the RHS Raven compatible
Massive thanks to the whole A3TI community who have been on board since the beginning providing feedback, suggestions and support the whole way.

Check out some of their other work.

Is there any plan to make this compatible with RHS? Aircraft like the UH-1Y and AH-1Z are not compatible.

Hello! The laser target marker isn't working for several mods with an additional modded 'pilot camera' such as upgraded littlebirds. Is there a workaround for this?

This mod is like, almost perfect, but please, please make this work with ACE strobes or MS_IFF_Strobes :')

It would be so neat if this mod just overwrote the base game’s thermal views

There seems to be some incompatibility with Fawk's enhanced NV mod when using the fusion modes. Not sure if you can do something about it, just thought you should know

For me this mod doesnt work, i keep pressing B and it doesnt work, i tried changing it to other keys but yet it still doesnt work.

Hi y'alls Hate's Digital Camera still has the old key. The new bikey has the same name as the old bikey, making the mods incompatible to be ran together on servers with verify signatures

Better yet could you just restore pre 2022 thermals
Rylan 9 Sep, 2024 @ 3:31am 
Can't you just make this replace the standard thermal visuals?

I'm not entirely sure this mod is the cause, but sometimes the AI gunner in the drone is removed after entering gunner mode and the pip returns camera view to horizontal view and no WHOT or BHOT. Did this happen to anyone else? My modlist is not entirely conservative but other than ace nothing that should interfere with IR or NVG modes.
