[western0221]

Ah....

nothing Request , Question , etc. about this Beta?

[Whiskey_Sierra_972]

Sorry mate!

I stopped every Il2 update on last summer to work on the unified map mod....

....and I'm still working on it every free time I have....



It's a really long task....

When I add landing lights to a plane, if I add more than one such as " Landing light 01,03,04 " to one wing, it makes the light brighter. Do you think this method would work to make the light be seen from further away?

[western0221]

My lighthouse's light beams are not effect, but polygon mesh (with self luminescence .mat parameters).

IL-2 1946's 3D engine has a hard-coded limit of ground Object drawing, it's distance is 5km (from the center of the object).
So, light beams are seen only inside of radius 5km from the lighthouse.

Very , very interesting , Western.

Do you think that in theory your method could work to create a Leigh Light beam ?
Very important (missing) tool for Coastal/Maritime Patrol Aircraft.

Underwing installation


Nice development.

(I guess listening to my own comments earlier this week I should make this its own request - if admins feel this comment is too intrusive to Western's thread , please remove this post ).

Western, oh yes, thank you very much.

Only one question:

Are you done with this modification? Unfortunately I can not raise the beam (F4).

Do you have a solution to this problem?







Best regards,

Both Mission builder program and Mission loader program allow changing the height of stationary objects only about "Fire" group.
Any other stationary-s are prohibited it.

So, a different light beam height object needs another slot (classfile + ini entry).
When the new height value (in meters) is told or the new lighthouse 3d model is given, I can add the new slot with adjusted height beam.
Then please tell me 3d model author information. I have to write their credits.

Hello western,

I did not know that "F4 & mouse" (up and down) would be so complicated.

I would have liked to use the light beam only for the lighthouses from the "Objects".

Your lighthouses from the "Static Objects" work wonderfully!

Thanks a lot for this!

Best regards,
