Nixon Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 Hey everyone, Anyone know how hard it would be to add country flags as placeable objects in the sim? Id like to be able to have each airport home to different blue or red countries and be able to fly their own flag. If it showd wind direction as well then that would be all the better. Wishful thinking?
Speed Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 (edited) As far as placing flags- may be possible, but it would be very difficult. You'd have to learn how to add 3D objects to the world, and furthermore, 3D objects that have animations and respond to game conditions. Something vastly easier would be to use smoke markers. You could, for example, use the mission editor to trigger smoke markers in zone with the right colors. I believe that smoke markers will respond to the wind- I know that smoke from burning units certainly does (nice touch too, ED). Unfortunately though... the two main opposing forces here are Russia (flag colors: red, white & blue) and.... yea. Maybe you could change the order of the smoke for the two different countries. Or maybe you could just set off a single smoke, blue for blue coaltion, red for red coalition, white for neutral, depending on who has ownership of what airbase.
