Tjay Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I've seen some of the images produced by the Thermal 'Night Vision' cameras common on large motor yachts, and they appeared to be vastly superior to any military TIS system. But then I've only seen those in this sim. http://www.flirnews.com/2014/10/20/flir-takes-home-three-nmea-awards/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invader ZIM Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Speaking of cheap thermal imaging systems, if you want one with higher image quality than the FLIR, for about $200 that clips to your cell phone, most are getting this. http://obtain.thermal.com/product-p/lw-aaa.htm Great for around the house and checking for leaks of cold air and such, but don't expect military grade thermal performance. For a bigger step up in performance, you can get the $1,600 phone clip on imager Therm App: http://therm-app.com/ video here: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tjay Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I'm impressed with Thermap product - assuming the actual images are as good as shown. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lt DeFault Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 There are Brits in my backyard! Lol.From my local newspaper: The scream of jet engines again fills the skies over my house. I look up and see two F-22s followed shortly by two delta wing aircraft. Apparently, they're at it again for "Exercise Western Zephyr". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
