and?

I am not asking to see through the glass, im asking why the heck it is giving away heat signature

could be a fix so you can't see through the glass

" Because the thermal IR cameras do not operate in the visible light spectrum, it detects heat, so if pointed at a window, it will give you an image of the surface temperature, which will just show an image of the window. If you are near the window you may see a reflection of yourself, this is not a light reflection, this would be the heat bouncing from you to the window,"

from that article:

When we get to the infrared wavelengths glass becomes a mirror or filter. It is designed to pass the visible wavelengths but reject the longer infrared wavelengths.

Didn't you read that reply in the link? It explains why you see heat.

Also, this is alpha.. so there will be numerous things that are broken and get fixed moving forwards.

go read it you can't see through window (or clear image) with thermal... you will just see heat

yes? doesnt mean you should see heat signature from it, because it should have the same surface temperature as the rest of the buildings, unless it is being heated up by magic

maybe cause glass is always reflecting heat that is around it.

[oleg86@msn.com 101]

OMFG, why do you talk about things you have no idea about, oh ye right, its the internet, everyone knows everything ...

see much heat from glass?

don't know if anybody has touched a glass window after its been sitting in the sun but it can get pretty dam hot. Makes perfect sense to me.

Actually, if poorly insulated, building loses a LOT of energy through windows. But only when heated :D

doesnt make sesce in abandoned town at night in DayZ tho, does it

[andris.orinskis@gmail.com 26]

Of course not!

Did you read "But only when heated" part? Do I have to chew it for you?

My guess is that the way it was before - it wasn't realistic for ArmA2 - WHY ALL BUILDINGS ARE ABANDONED? Why nobody lives in ANY of the houses? When playing ArmA2 - cities don't look populated at all. So they fixed it for ArmA2 and ruined it for DayZ :D

[Blt 1]

Maybe because of the zombie invasion everybody forgot to turn their heating off? Never though of that, heh.
