I'd be great to be able to do this. Also to disable the AI aircrafts nav lights.
It'd make a great companion to fly_zo's improved fire/smoke mod. If you have any ideas how, be sure to tell all here

Excellent post Bee, please kill off the curse of the nav lights.

i know!

make it so anyone touching a key mapped for "toggle wing smoke" and "print screen" bails out of plane, and then disconnects from server :twisted:

found search lights ! This is the path:

3do/lights/SL_ManualBlue/Project.mat


In project.mat set desired VisibleDistanceFar ( FPS sensitive)

hope it helps

Which sfs file does that come from fly_zo?

[Bee]

Nevermind. Got it!

Changed the view distance for fire, smoke and searchlights to 1000000000000.0
No noticable slowdowns either. The brightness of the searchlights I changed from Shine 0.7 to Shine 10.0 Getting caught by one now is formidable indeed!

I'm seriously thinking about the possibilities of a standalone Nightfighter version of the game.
Everything from darker night skies, brighter flames and flak bursts. Bigger smoke. Modified maps and map icons to resemble radar screens. No AI nav lights. Or even better - Nav lights multiplied and repositioned to represent exhaust flames.....

Ah, the possibilities!

steady there Bee, remember this is about making things more realistic, or more historical, you will have to put the flying saucer project on hold for now, sorry. lol

is this new searchlight with the increased distance and brightness going to be available for download?

in the missions section there are my co-ops....I run a nightfighter mission using five flights of four Lancasters (PE8) bombing Berlin....they do not turn on their nav lights like other bombers do....and up to four Bf110 fly from two airfields to search for and attack

I have hosted it on HL a few times with good comments....very spooky.....being able to see the searchlights from further away would be great as they are a big help in locating the planes....must have icons disabled though...

I have installed all the mods from this site and they are all working fine, however i tried to alter the searchlights, but when i look for the file in 3do/lights/SL_ManualBlue/Project.mat

i can not find any such file all i have in the 3do directory is a "plane" folder and a "cockpit" folder neither of which contain the file above.

any ideas?

cheers mate
