Been playing a lot since release. Currently rank 26. I still cannot fly planes/helicopters for **** with my mouse+keyboard.

Anyone know if the microsoft sidewinder will work on this? I still have it somewhere in the loft but it's about 10 years old:D

I set up my Sidewinder 2 for the planes.

You'll need to rebind the keys but it works well enough. You also need to remember to reset the throttle to the middle position and centre the stick before you spawn after using a plane or your soldier will fire like a maniac while spinning round in circles the second you spawn.

It looks more like Multispectral Imaging, so its basically a thermal scope and an NV scope with some clever processing that creates a composite image of them both. They do exist, infact Hyperspectral imaging makes Multispectral look positively old fashioned but I've not seen them as a scope as I understand it they are normally mounted on vehicles.

I did come across multispectral when I did some googling, but this was still for night vision. I just haven't found anything that shows that this tech exists for daytime use. For large differences in temp I'd imagine it is pretty straighforward, so I guess we're all high metabolism noobs running around on a cold autumnal day :D

Its a shame the games mechanic does not allow for corpses to be left behind, then IR scope abusers would probably spend half their time shooting at still warm stiffs. Game should have a thermal nade unlock so you can blind the **** out of IR scope users, and for more than just a few seconds.

Now that everyone is getting mines they are getting spammed everywhere and these show up on IRNV, they can be all over the place on a 64 server!
 
Wow, JamesM is Jam0r?! You seem quite pleasant in this thread, how does that tally up with the person I've raged so much at during games?! :D

I got accused of cheating yesterday when I got into a firefight with some guy and I killed him and he left me at 6%. He started calling me a hacker in chat and I told him to stop whining and check out my stats, as they're hardly the stats of a cheater.
 
Tell me what you notice :p

I'm loving BF3 so far :) I'm currently unlocking all the weapons on assault, then I'll probably move onto engineer.

However people could be calling me all the names under the sun for being a IRNV and noob toob whore but I never look at the chat, I'm too focused on causing the other team damage to look at it. Is there a way to look at the chat log after the round for my entertainment to see if I got any abuse? :D

Multispectral/Hyperspectral imaging can draw information from 10s/100s/1000s of different parts of the EM spectrum and then composite them into colour contrasted images for example some parts of the spectrum can be used to differentiate between inorganic/organic matter or different types of rock. It is possbile but I dont think its quite as simple and conveniant as the game implies and im pretty sure you'd struggle to fit the type of equipment needed to composite an image of that clarity and contrast onto a full size UAV let alone a gun scope.
