MrExplosion Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 I tried yesterday to make a searchlight just point upwards into the sky to act as a navigational aid for finding f.e. an airfield at night or in bad weather, but I failed to achieve the desired effect. Does anyone know if it is somehow possible? Kein Anderer als ein Jäger spürt, Den Kampf und Sieg so konzentriert. Das macht uns glücklich, stolz und froh, Der Jägerei ein Horrido!

razo+r Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Place a reaper drone circling above the searchlight. That's probably the only way, unless it's possible with scripting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrExplosion Posted June 10, 2022 Author Share Posted June 10, 2022 Yea, I used an orbiting plane to achieve the effect somehwat. Maybe Reaper Drone works even better, will try. Thx! I remember when the searchlights were still bugged and it was their standard behaviour to just shine straight up into the sky. Thought I could reproduce that somehow (scripting would be fine).

stuart666 Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 (edited) This is actually a really good idea. I was investigating my local airfield, and found they had a searchlight at the end of the runway as a navigational aid, possibly used in conjunction with the Beam Approach System.

Doughguy Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Dont want to start a seperate thread as i basically have a similar question. I want a german kübelwagen (or any other german truck) to illuminate a runway for a mission at dawn. However ive not really managed to do so or find an option for this. Anyone got a clue? https://sr-f.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only ground vehicle I know of that has the headlights modeled is the APC Tigr. Using the search light to illuminate the runway with a low flying aircraft is not ideal either, as it will blind the pilot. Only way I know of right now how to achieve this is by using mods that include lamps that do what you want to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doughguy Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Cheers ill try that. Yes it aint ideal but depending on the angle and direction you approach from this wont be much of a deal. https://sr-f.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nealius Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Another option is to place a static lighthouse that's now available with Razbam's free South Atlantic assets....at least I think it's available for those who don't own the map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
