I would light it yes...but not for planes. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

well since you can see the bases on the map and pinpoint them anyway, might aswell have some really cool lights.

dynamic lighting from bomb blasts and fule/ammo storages cookoffs is a must to btw (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) and hit a refinery, oooooo ahhhhh (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Will I be the only one logging off when night comes around, just like before?

Are there any plans for lighted runways?

Post by: Ripsnort on February 12, 2001, 08:20:00 AM: HiTech,
When nighttime first came upon us, we were able to see the ground thru a norden bombsite fairly well...then another version came along, and the ground was no longer visable thru the bombsite...do you remember this conversation at the con? Was wondering what changed...because the first version of night was the best, still allowed low level dogfights and bombing...

Great work, will we see night?
