Hello fellow av-nuts. Anyone know where and what value(s) to use to crank up night lighting? Seems all the cities and vehicles are on strict blackout orders.

 

I did find this in graphic.cfg, line 146; LightsLevel = 1;

 

I changed it from a 0 to a 1, but see no effect...do I need to adjust the night time distance/LOD? I know its a hit to the gfx but...I like eye candy. Or, is the light level at max now and we need some user generated bitmaps?

Looks like it works with BlackShark.

I had no problems to install it via ModMan, but i experienced some flickering on one building, where it seems like the engine tries to switch between an old texture and the new one. But happened only from a particular angle and after i changed the POV i couldnt reproduce it.

 

Some screenies (1st one without mod, 2nd and 3rd with mod):

Hi Jason,

 

now that ED made the terrain tools available, it would be relatively easy for anyone with 3D Max to place in lights like that into any map.

Yes! those city lights look awesome! :thumbup:

 

Now, if we could get that effect with aircraft too, nav lights and such, not as powerful as that, but enhanced, so we could see them from further away :)

not yet, those shots are an early version of what we hope to accomplish for the Nellis terrain in DCS A-10

 

 

Aaaahhhhh!!! if you see the DCS Wishlist, there´s exactly this from me there!

 

Could you expand a little on what you´re trying to do? adding "true" lights to cities? roads?

Ah thank you..

With the terrain tools now available, it would be relatively easy for anyone with 3D Max to place in lights like that into any map.

Finally it looks partly similar to cities in FSX ;]
