Title: Night-time Flares/Seachlights
Post by: Replicant on April 04, 2002, 09:49:01 AM
Hi all

Since quite a few of us were discussing the night-time issue how about people in GVs able to launch flares to illuminate the immediate area?  Would look kinda cool though haven't an idea of how difficult it would be to introduce?

On another note, and something that's been mentioned before, search lights?  Good or bad?  Too distracting?

Regards

Hi Nexx,
 I agree that would be cool but I don't think it's possible :( I'm sure I read/Heard somwhere that the current game engine only handles a single light source (For shadows etc). That's why planes still "White out" when passing through the sun even when it (And they) are below the horizon and also when flying in moonlight the wrong side of the plane is lit up (It's always the side away from the moon which has panel & markings details visible).

TTFN
