Title: Take off flare for missions
Post by: XxDaSTaRxx on September 06, 2013, 10:13:17 PM
One thing to add to realism that would be cool, would be a takeoff flare on heavy bomber missions. http://www.flickr.com/photos/8648827@N06/5102297492/ (http://www.flickr.com/photos/8648827@N06/5102297492/) Maybe something like that... but visible during daylight.

Great idea. Simple and immersive.

I just came up with the perfect add on to your idea.

Any time someone comes in for a wheels down landing, a flare goes up and an auto vox message says, "You can teach monkeys to fly better than that."

 :D

who would shoot the flair and second who on the mission would see it?  when you spawn on mission the engines are already on and the plane moving anyway.

unless you suggest that planes spawn with engines off and wait for the flare, which will also be hard to do when you have a few bombers bunched up together on the runway.

on second thought, please allow it, it will be a warning that it's time to zoom on the runway with rockets  :devil.

NPC guy standing on the balcony of the tower shoots the flare when mission leader pushes a key?

And then the flare flys all over erratically until it finally lands on the nose of... wait for it...  of Semp's plane, every time!   :D
