Thermal Imaging Camera

Suggestions for Future Updates
First of all: This mod is pretty great, I've always been fascinated with thermal imagers and IR technology in general, so to have this finally available in SE is a real treat.

There's only a few ways that you could improve this mod I think. If you were able to add IR strobes to friendly players and vehicles (i.e. in your faction/allied with your faction), that would be super awesome. This will make identifying friend from foe much easier on the field.

A good example of this would be here or here

Those were the best examples I could find online anyways. Additionally, I'm not sure if this is possible in SE, but you could also possibly add a nightvision mode, which could also make use of these IR flares to, again, identify friendlies.

I think if you were able to add IR strobes and/or a nightvision option: this mod would seriously be the best of the best. One thing at a time though—either way this is a great mod, keep up the great work!

I agree with everything you just said and maybe at least add a inverted opinion like in the second link you posted

If possible, you could also make explosions perceived as bright white booms of light. If not possible, just make the camera's image grayscale (seeing colors in a IR camera is kinda weird as shown in the mod's showcase)

Can you make these connect to LCD's ? and an option to turn off and on the IR for normal viewing ?

The camera is too unbalanced for multiplayer. It shows objects through other objects, through voxels. It's Just Wall Hack

It would be appreciated if the toggle key for the thermal camera can be remapped to another key. The T key is used for interaction with items and to exit camera views.

I would suggest giving the camera a slot in either the all blocks menu or some other G-menu folder. While I love the mod, I don't like adding mods for my servers where my players need to specifically look up the items they need. At the very least they should have a way to discover them through general browsing in the G-menu.
