Something Missing

[Timm]

Hi All,

Before I start please don't get angry. but one small question regarding the texture for the BS. I have just been going through the manual and came across a picture of the Flare dispencer and the Signal Flare dispencer how ever when looking at the textures of the BS there are now textures showing the colour signal flares just a black outline. So I had ago at copying the outline of the manual picture and put over the black area on the texture, and came up with this. Question was it suppose to be left black? Sorry I did not get the zoom in the same place. but at least you can see what I mean.Timm

Hi Bud,

Thanks for that. Just had a re-do on it and I think I got it about right. I think it looks better with something instead of a blank slot. Here is a shot of her in the air to get a better view of the dispenser. I am going to re-upload this texture showing the dispenser along with the new red star on the tail.Timm

Um, I would leave it black because, instead of having 1 flare of each colour, you can fire 4 flares of the same colour, or 2 red ones and 2 green ones etc, so if you leave them black then the flares could be any colour within their little tubes.

 

Although that beign said, you little mod does look nicer :)

Er, but the helicopter really does only have 1 flare of each colour...also I'm not sure how that has anything to do with his modification?

yes, but do this, their is 4 switches in the pit refering to each colour, now flick one switch, anyone 4 times and you will get 4 of the same colour flares, and once you have done that the other flares dont fire.

 

Also, in the stock game, the multi coloured flare dispenser is basically black, but in timms mod'd pics it shows colours which is in my opinion much nicer, but the colours that we are seeing may just be the end of the flare cartridges and maybe possible to change in real life ? so istead of having red, green, white and orange, their might be 4 reds or 2 reds and 2 greens etc depending on what the upcoming flight is, I dont know but I am just surmising.

 

So what I am saying is, ingame we can fire just 4 flares, but they dont have to be 4 different colours, i.e the colours we see on the wingtips in timms pics, so what is the point of dictating the colours of the flares on the wingtips when any colour flare can be dispensed upto 4 times ingame.

 

Dont get me wrong, I prefer the way Timm has it as that is much nicer to look at.

 

Slug I understand the helo only has 1 of each coloured flare, but why is it that ingame you can fire 4 or 3 or 2 of the same colour and so on, but only upto a max of 4 dispensed flares.
