WOV: switch on the lights on the runway and on the carriers

[Mur]

HI everibody,

a question about WOV: surely you have noticed that on the ground runways the lights are switched on only on the night.

Does anybody know if it is possible to set the runways by switching on the lights in each moment of the day (sunrise, morning, evening, sunset etc. etc.).

For me it is almost impossible to get a good view of the runway if it is not switched on, in particular when I fly with storm or at the sunset.

The same question for the carriers.

Thanks in advance!

Mur,

 

I am assuming your familar with the extract utility tool and procedure. If not, get the SFP1 extract utility in the SF/WOV utilities category. You cant do anything without doing that first. You must extract the airfield data INI's from the CATDATA file, make your changes then place it in the VietnamSea terrain folder. This will over ride the default settings. The changes you wish to make are done in the individual airfield dataini's. The default setting for the lights to come on is 0.25. If you increase that number they come on sooner. Theres a post in here at CA I think in the SF/WOV mods section that tells you a bit about it. Each light set has to be done indiviually. For example VietnamSea_Airfield4 dataini:

 

[LightSet002]

LightOn=0.25 <<<<<<increase this, the higher the num, the earlier they come on.

Color=0.25,0.25,0.88

Material=LightMaterial

Height=0.5000

Size=0.2000

Directional=FALSE

Prefix=TPoint

TPoint01=-279.0145,-726.979

 

This is just a partial of the lightset for the taxi lights.

You can also play with the environmental settings dataini's which will affect when the lights will come on.

Its best to check around, read posts, and check the knowledge base. Lot of stuff in there.

It may sound complicated, but once you get the hang of it, its quite easy to modify your INI files.

Some of the mods are already done regarding this subject. Look in the downloads section section for SF/WOV/WOE.

 

The game does not provide for lighted carriers.
