Hi guys!

Trying to have searchlights working during night missions, with no avail.

Tested some missions of a static campaign in 4.10 and there searchlights worked fine. Remember to have seen searchlights working during some night mission of a dinamic campaign in 4.11.

Here in 4.09 I put searchlights on all possible targets (airfields, ports, etc.), but they refuse to light on. Of course time is night (22-23h). I also tried adding manually an enemy bomber flying forth and back over my base, but no juice: searchlights located at the four corners of the runway stubbornly stay off.

Any help?

... searchlights work OK in my 4.09 game ...

Did you try with different maps or only one ...?

Static mission or DGen ...?

What does your log say ...?

[SAS~Malone]

yes, check your log from that mission - searchlights work just fine in my 409 install.
could really only be some mod that is conflicting, so we'll need to have a look at that log

Elevation enemy planes?
If you install a particular Mod (for 409) change that prevents detection when there are clouds?
I do not remember the name of this Mod! I'm not on my "big" computer.

Altitude des avions ennemis ?
Si vous avez installer un mod particulier (pour 409) qui empêche la détection quand il y a des nuages ?
Je ne me souviens plus du nom de ce Mod ! Je ne suis pas sur mon "gros" ordinateur.

Don't know for what odd reason, but right now searchlights are visible!

Probably, my previous test method was wrong...

Sorry for all the disturb and thanks a lot for prompt help.

Anyway, here follows my latest (Instant) Log ( where searchlights were seen):
