philstyle Posted July 16, 2020 Posted July 16, 2020 Hi, i would be great if we could get a single powered light for the Mission Editor as a unit. A great option would be the "Bartow Beacon" https://patents.google.com/patent/US2155295 These were small portable lights used to light runways. "WW2 Line Material Co. Bartow HILV (high intensity, low visability) runway approach beacon" https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/ww2-army-air-corp-runway-approach-469830927 Here is a whole page dedicated to Aviation lenses: https://uslhs.org/aviation-lenses 4 On YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/philstylenz Storm of War WW2 server website: https://stormofwar.net/

xvii-Dietrich Posted July 16, 2020 Posted July 16, 2020 Having a single-point lamp would be a very useful addition to DCS, especially if triggers could be used to create/destroy them. These are really small, so there would be no need to switch them on/off (although that would be nice), merely creating/deleting them would be sufficient to mark out the runway/taxi way. They would also be very useful for non-WW2 too. They could be used to mark test target areas, cargo drop points for helicopters, or even linked to a ship to give them lighting, even if they don't have any. In any case, this is a great idea, it would add a lot to the DCS environment, and it does not seem like a complicated model to make. 4

philstyle Posted November 3, 2021 Author Posted November 3, 2021 Requests for portable lights seem to be a bit of a topic recently, again. Any chance this request might be given some consideration for the WW2 assets pack? 6 On YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/philstylenz Storm of War WW2 server website: https://stormofwar.net/
Brigg Posted November 3, 2021 Posted November 3, 2021 yes please ED, these would be a fantastic addition to the assets pack 4
rkk01 Posted November 3, 2021 Posted November 3, 2021 Doesn’t have to be limited to assets for the ME… Lets see the WW2 fields fitted with era appropriate night lights / beacons Mossie brings DCS to the dark side so let’s have some lights for night ops 6
Walshtimothy Posted November 10, 2021 Posted November 10, 2021 +1 for this also , should be linkable to a field so you can call approach to switch on if needed then off once down... immersion would be great 1 walshtimothyWW2 virtual flier - currently playing on 4ya ww2 - youtube channel here https://www.ww2adinfinitum.blog - https://projectoverlord.co.uk/

DD_Fenrir Posted March 25, 2022 Posted March 25, 2022 (edited) The Drem lighting system showing the standardised lighting patterns for an RAF airfield: The "WHITE FLOODLIGHT" referenced to the lower left of the runway is the Chance Light, a floodlight to illuminate the runway in case of an emergency. The runway and taxi-ways were marked with Glim lamps - the light from these was masked such that the illumination could only be seen from low altitude, at circuit height. These were backed up by parafin goose neck lamps in case of failure: Obstruction & Marker lights I am still determining the form factor of the outer marker, funnel, totem and dumbell lights.
