SoW Reddog Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Apologies if this is very obvious or answered else where. Is there a way of turning off all, or part, of the electrical grid. It seems somewhat odd to be flying over hostile towns and airfields lit up like Christmas trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaD CrC Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 No. Would be cool though. Shooting down electrical plants and see cities in the dark. https://www.blacksharkden.com http://discord.gg/blacksharkden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ignition Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Imagine if we could place power lines and power stations with functional gameplay powering cities so we could attack those :D and generate big dark areas in the night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoW Reddog Posted January 24, 2017 Author Share Posted January 24, 2017 No. Would be cool though. Shooting down electrical plants and see cities in the dark. That is ....disappointing. Even ARMA has this. Is there an official place to lobby for functionality to be included on the road map? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feefifofum Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 (edited) Yeah, there's a wishlist thread... https://forums.eagle.ru/forumdisplay.php?f=438 The way streetlights work right now, is that because it would wreck your processor to calculate thousands and thousands of light sources in real-time (unlike Arma, where you are generally only looking at small areas at a time and the map is a fraction of the size of the Caucasus region) at night time a different set of ground textures swap in which have the lighting pre-rendered. Seems like it would be feasible to swap back sections to their standard non-lit textures as a building is destroyed. I think features like this are going to be a long time coming though, the team has too many other major projects... No sense in investing a lot of time on features for an engine that is due to be replaced this year. When 2.5 is finally out the door though I think this would be a neat feature, especially as the view from the ground improves for Combined Arms players.
