vehical lights - hoover - 28.06.2009

do the head lights work on any vehicals?. I seem to remember a coop way back that a car had lights on but maybey it was another game.

No not that I know of,although there are lights that can be accessed through the FMB.These lights can be manipulated to raise and lower them,they can be made to look like the lights on a vehicle as long as it is a stationary vehicle and does not move.





To raise or lower objects (lights, fire and smoke are the only obejcts that can be raised or lowered like this)

Place the object on the map. To do this Left click the mouse and press Ctrl

Then select the object by Left clicking the mouse and then go into 3D mode by Pressing Enter while zoomed in close enough to see terrain details on the map.

Hold left click and press F4 and if you don't do it in that order the next function will not work!

While holding the left mouse button move mouse away from you to raise, pull mouse towards you to lower the object.

To move object on the horizontal release F4, hold down the left mouse button and move your mouse

Easy

Edit> Pressing F1 will slow down the response to moving the object so as you have better control over it.Also you can click on the light object if on the map and by holding down both left and right mouse buttons and then pressing F4 while in 3D view you will be able to raise and lower the object.

I think that in a real time of that war the vehicles werent use lights at night when enemy aircradts was near.

They had a tine line of lights not like this reflectors.

But its ok for a movie tricks.

You don't move around the battlefield with headlights blazing away.. nor would you move about an airfield with lights on if moving about at night for obvious reasons.
But if you want to portray an enemy being incredibly stupid so you can easily target them..

The jeep pic with lights was because the jeep was the first vehicle I came across when I went into the FMB so I used it to answer the question that was asked!

There are other vehicles and places light's could be used other than battlefields,
if one used there imagination...



Note:If vehicle is destroyed ...the lights will remain :lol:

I have read a few books of Joppe Karhunen, and he says that in Finland in some cases when airfield's lights were broked, they used cars with lights on as landing lights.

Yes.. it's an emergency measure to mark a landing strip if you didn't have 'Benghazi burners' etc.. however, headlights would be put on as soon as the aircraft was heard overhead, and they would touch down where the beams crossed.. can we project beams of light in game? apart from searchlights of course..
