Atomic Illumination
« on: April 24, 2012, 01:04:58 PM »

Sanka's recent excellent addition of light from flak bursts at night opened a whole new door of immersion for me. I wonder if a large 5 second or so burst of extreme light from night time nukes (and perhaps the larger bombs/Mistels, etc) is doable...light that actually illuminates the surrounding area and night skies, your cockpit and so forth. I envision the effect much like the dropped flare effect but on steroids.Whaddayathink? Possible?

Well we have an illumination, only it lasts one second or so and disappears.

Wow, I've not seen that effect with any of my various nukes! Does it illuminate a night scene?

Yes, but only if you directly look at it, and not in cockpit :



PS : and actually it lasts 2-3 seconds ;)

Not bad but it's not a "true" illumination, is it? Whatever makes the Sanka flak bursts throw "real" light across the cockpit, etc...is more of what I had in mind for the nukes and big bombs. Of course, the brightness time and intensity has to be jacked up!!
