Прожекторы как средство навигации


Recommended Posts

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?

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).

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.

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?

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.
