Anamorphic Lens Flare

Description
Simple modification that will allow you to reproduce an anamorphic lens flare cinematic look.
it will replace most of the bright lights in the game without impacting fps ; vehicles, lamps, flare, light attachments, etc... except the sun

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anamorphic lens flare, AKA the “anamorphic streak,” is a form of lens flare that appears as horizontal lines rather than traditional, circular bokeh ( the visual quality of the out-of-focus areas of a photographic image, especially as rendered by a particular lens). Now considered a sought-after visual effect, these unique lens flare streaks first appeared due to aberrations (optical flaws) in anamorphic lenses.

The light blue tint Lens Flare is still visible when aiming down sight with NVG and thermal scopes. could you please do some workaround?

Yep, you're right, the point was to give a more cinematic kind of atmosphere to it. Arma is quite beautiful at night and some missions are designed with a cropped, detailed visual close to a photographic composition.
Thx man for the feedback and your comment, glad you enjoy it :steamthumbsup:

Well that surely is out of my knowledge as well...but it does help change the atmosphere to, say, more "Metal Gear" like? Gives a different vibe, nice work!

Ok, I just checked and, indeed, the color of the light doesn't change ... However, it remains not as strong as i feared . I mean, blue on green, it could have been worse. That depend of the saturation level of the presets. And to go a little further, what's the point of an anamorphic filter that only appears at night, to hide behind a nvg...Then, to be perfectly honest, I think it would take some knowledge that I don't have yet to just change the settings for the nvg. I could be wrong but it seems to me that the flare of arma depends on one only texture, whether it is in night vision or not. The TGA filter replaces the vanilla version and does not seem be dissociable for NVG. Basically the texture of the flare applies to both and for a neutral flare in night vision, the flare must be neutral at the start.
I'll do some research to see if I can "flank" this problem.

Ho ! not really. I will try to change that in the update if arma or my little knowledge, of course, allow that kind of thing.
Hope you enjoy anyway, kind of weird you are right.
Thx for the feedback

Hi, the lens flare still appears blue in night vision with no changes at all, is it intended?
