Russian IRST vs F-15: tested how does it work w clouds & rain on DCS 2.7 (OLS-27 OEPS-27 on SU-27)
expand description for timeline jumps - How does IRST work and how does it track through clouds in DCS World 2.7 on SU-27? Tested and found out that clouds are beautiful but do not affect IRST capability and you can detect a F-15 jet just as well in clear sky or in clouds and rain using your OLS-27 OEPS-27 system. This is likely to be identical on all other IRST enabled fighters in DCS such as MIG-29 and J-11.
