Hi Christian,

 

I was unsure how long they should be, so I set them like they are in IL2: Forgotten Battles (used here as reference) at around 3 kilometers beam lenght, I've tested waaay longer ones (but not as long as 13 km), but they didn't look ok -some LOD display issues, clipping related perhaps. But if you want,, I can add longer version.

 

Now we need Deuces or other SF Guru to make them night only... Eric, if you're reading this old friend, help needed

thank you for the reply

 

i don't want nothing that i can make ,just help someone that work on the game :fans:

 

the light is random control or is like a gun automatic control to shot a ennemy plane?

They follow the plane with the beam, visually tracking targets
