lights on aircraft.
« Reply #30 on: June 21, 2004, 09:34:32 AM »
Turbinlights I believe they were called.

Some aircraft did carry them including the A-20 Havoc.

Would it be complicated to implement a searchlight effect on adequately equiped aircraft? It would be like an additional gun position, controlled by the pilot/co/pilot/gunner.

But perhaps you're right the graphics demand might be a little high.


my two cents.

Good topic by the way - minus the adolescent whine & cheese society.

LOL - a plane with a big light on it at night? That'd be like drawing moths to a bug zapper that don't work!

yeah sure, once the gamma can't be turned up to affect night, once there are night fighters and once there are search lights.

and once there is "in-plane" radar like the real night fighters had (not the clipboard because radar is based from a base and can be taken out.. where the fighters had their own)

Did I read this right?   Is there no night-time in AH2?


If so, that might make it worth playing if my PC can run it adequately.

I did some offline testing. And even with gamma up your visual range is still shorter. Now IMHO if HTC limited icon range at night and with the limited vis I still think nights would be cool. Especially in GV's. The gamma slider also tends to have that white-out effect as well so turning it up to far actually hinders you. I would just like to at least try it out for a couple of days. Nights didnt ever last that long anyways And with the new icon positions NOE runs will have an even greater chance of NOT being detected. Of course this is all just speculation we REALLY need to err test this stuff out.
