Steffen Pilot	posted 12-27- 10:53 AM Rends, that looks great. Will this an add on for the existing runways? Steffen ------------------ 7./JG3_Steffen IP: Logged
Rendsburger Pilot	posted 12-27- 11:21 AM Steffen. I will modify the major airfields from dover and Rhineland. Then u can switch the lights on or off using the Missioneditor. Rendsburger IP: Logged
Threedp Pilot	posted 12-27- 03:29 PM Great stuff! Will we be able to control the airfields individually? I ask because I would like to be able to turn friendly ones on so I can land, and enemy ones off, so it's not easy to find and hit them if they're my target. ------------------ Be seeing you, 3dp Visit RAF Harkness!

SteveTheDrummer Pilot	posted 12-27- 06:56 PM Hi rends, you shure just lit my Christmas tree...Love it, Looonged for it & please could you do it for the Tundra /Smolensk terrain too 'cause I'd love to fly some dark-cold-Swedish-up-north-winter-night missions with this terrain AND find my way back home without cheating IP: Logged
Rendsburger Pilot	posted 12-28- 07:46 AM 3dp, i�m not sure if it is possible to switch them on or off during a mission.What i�m thinking about is to make the runwaylights part of the terrain and u can turn them on for nightmissions and of for daylight runs. And only one major runway of a big airbase will get those lights. Steve, yes i�m thinking about creating lights for other terrains too but Dover and Rhineland will get them first.

Skidmark Cadet	posted 12-29- 02:32 PM You don't need to turn 'em off for daytime, you wouldn't see 'em anyway! ------------------ I am the Skidmark IP: Logged
Steffen Pilot	posted 12-29- 03:34 PM Hi Rends, send the link. I can test it. Steffen PS: In Dover is lighthouse (Leuchtturm), may you can enlighten it too. ------------------ 7./JG3_Steffen IP: Logged
SteveTheDrummer Pilot	posted 12-29- 04:52 PM Looks Great Rends! I have a LOTOFFUN with your searchlights and lampposts trying to make a dramatic Battleship harboring fjord nighttime using Abbeville in Nats Excellent Snowy Dover.;D Maybe we could have more placeable stuff like the lampposts though BIGGER, maybe like hangar-subpen-harbour illuminating spotlights IP: Logged

Rendsburger Pilot	posted 12-30- 07:29 AM I need someone to test it. Get the file here: http://people.freenet.de/Santarossa/runwaylightAlpha.zip and post your comments into this thread or mail me. Rendsburger IP: Logged
Flying Finn Pilot	posted 12-30- 08:17 AM well,well,Rends. tried your latest "product of the spirit"..and I liked it...no problems for me, but...maybe there should be a few more of them..maybe in the main runway...but I like tham a lot...good work, as usually TFF IP: Logged
Rendsburger Pilot	posted 12-30- 08:55 AM Finn,thx for testing. I didn�t add more because there are over 20 lights there and dropped down my Framerate. Can u tell my if the light dropped your FR too and how much? Rendsburger IP: Logged
MadCow Pilot	posted 12-30- 09:00 AM Hey CowHunter, this is what I've wanted in SDOE for so long! I ran the test mission but I'm wondering if the lights can be A) brighter, as they're a tad hard to see above a few hundred feet high, and or B) spaced closer together as in the pic you've posted up top as my fps were quite decent, around 60 for me. Like your searchlights, these are really great work too Rends. ------------------ [This message has been edited by MadCow (edited 12-30-2001).] IP: Logged
Desert Fox Cadet	posted 12-30- 12:45 PM Very good idea...... then I will prove it. ------------------ IP: Logged
Jerry+ Pilot	posted 12-30- 09:18 PM Ditto MadCow's critique. Nice addition. IP: Logged
Desert Fox Cadet	posted 12-31- 01:25 AM See of their lights from my Ju 388 J-1 ------------------ IP: Logged
Flying Finn Pilot	posted 12-31- 05:46 AM Dear Rends... First of all, I�d like to inform you, that Mika H�kkinen is still the King Of F1..and now to the point: The runwaylight testing is all my pleasure, and yes, I didn�t think of the framerate issue at all, sorry about that. Guess I just want a lots of everything...You�re right about the framerates gettin� down a bit. Mine lowered about 10 notches, and in some cases that can be too much. Now I looked at your lights with different eyes (tecnic look), and they are still just great and everything works for me fine...TFF IP: Logged
Rendsburger Pilot	posted 12-31- 06:16 AM Hi Flying Finn, well i have had a look at the Formula1 statistics: Season 2001 results: M.Schumacher 123points------M.Hakinnen 37points alltime Grandprix winner: M.Schuhmacher with 53 wins---M.Hakinnen 20 wins alltime GrandPrix points: M.Schuhmacher 801 points-----M.Hakinnen 420 points Hope it was enlighten too Rendsburger IP: Logged
Flying Finn Pilot	posted 01-01- 07:03 AM Dear Rends...I really think this is the wrong place to talk about this, but I�ve noticed, that members of this communinty are really open minded , so...If you look back the seasonslike this:...Mika had very bad luck,impossible things happened to him: he lost his tire, fuel didn�t come out of the tube, gear box brokedown twice, a stupid jerk came jumpin�around the track and they had to call safety car and Mika lost his lead, engine broke down in last round well you could go on this list almost forever...As you saw in Indianapolis, when things worked out, he won... ...and he will win in the future too,he told me so and I must bellieve him.. P.s Your runwaylights are great...TFF [This message has been edited by Flying Finn (edited 01-01-2002).] IP: Logged
SteveTheDrummer Pilot	posted 01-01- 01:15 PM Thanks & Happy New Year Rendsburger I will gladly try them out IP: Logged
Rendsburger Pilot	posted 01-02- 07:15 AM New version with brighter lights: http://people.freenet.de/Santarossa/runwaylightAlpha2.zip Rendsburger IP: Logged
Biggles3 Pilot	posted 01-02- 07:50 AM rends thats SPOT ON!!! looks just right. and iuts doesnt show up too bright at longrange after all we dont want a gatwick airport like runway IP: Logged
MadCow Pilot	posted 01-02- 09:00 AM I Salute you Herr CowHunter! They are FANTASTIC now and easy to see from around 4,000 feet alt. Can they be lowered at all to below minimum prop height? They're a bit easy to hit with the prop tip if you're not careful enough on taking off and landing. In cockpit fps at 3,500 feet alt were around mid to high 30's and in ext view to around 65 with my Ti200 GF3. These progressively got right up to between 70 - 90 fps at around 10,000 feet alt. I was amazed to see that the lights twinkle on and off from any alt Very nice indeed! You MUST however place them on more than just one of the main runways of the airfields you do this for, please herr cowhunter do this Do you know how to get rid of the illuminated rainbow by any chance? As always, Great work Rends Moo ------------------ [This message has been edited by MadCow (edited 01-02-2002).] IP: Logged
Flying Finn Pilot	posted 01-02- 09:15 AM Way to go Rends...you�re the man!!! Looks even better! And still works fine. And I also noticed that there is a collision factor in the lights too...flew by one of them ...How about lighting up few houses in towns too...?? And that lighthouse Steffen mentioned ...Good Job!! TFF P.S.Now they are brigter, so there is no need to be more of them... IP: Logged
SteveTheDrummer Pilot	posted 01-02- 09:42 AM Looked better than I thought they would (and I had expectations) now I can't wait to try v.2 and, yes please lit up the lighthouse & a few houses too. That would make such a nice view, barely making it home from a mission in the dark FS is great with these atmospheric additions so thanks Rends b.t.w. guys check out Nats beta IL4 bomber (if it's available) great plane and yes it's got spotlights on the wings like the Defiant will have & hopefully more planes.

Killer-Ants Pilot	posted 01-02- 12:17 PM No probs from my TNT2 M64, Fluid with or without the lights, no flic or lag or FR surfer - from first alpha test. IP: Logged
Aui Pilot	posted 01-02- 04:03 PM Rends, you would probably save quite a lot of FPS on lower spec machines by disabling the poly hit detection. Really love your ideas! Nice work!! IP: Logged
Rendsburger Pilot	posted 01-02- 04:24 PM Aui, yes u are right. In the final release the lights should not make or take any damage to planes or itself. This will be changed in one of the next versions. Rendsburger IP: Logged
Jerry+ Pilot	posted 01-02- 05:19 PM Yes, the larger ones look better. IP: Logged
