Flare gun! - Page 3

Didn't find the flares, but did find spotlights. They're pretty cool

. Would work similar for a flare gun I imagine.

ye looks good, just never seen a dynamic light in BF2 light that much area before, although a flare would need to light a much bigger area, so we will have to see how that works out.

I actually think the area of light of that spot light would fit a flare gun pretty well.

Well the radius for a flare would have to be much, much bigger if its going to light the surface under it when high in the sky.

On an unrelated note, AD, if you havent implemented this yet, you should get a spotlight for the dday drop map to pair nicely with flakverlings and flak 88's

Aside from a flare gun, flare shots from UGLs or the M79 might be an idea.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking about as well. But we would need to test what this does to performance. Easiest to test on FH2, see if it has any impact. I'm fine if the radius isn't too big, if that's the compromise to good performance.

The spotlight looks nice except the fact the light itself blocks so much view.

Would it be possible to have any flare type illumination have a slow descent like on a little chute?

I searched for flares on FH Forums and there were a few mentions of certain VGA's having issues - as long as it's OK on NVIDIA that's cool.

if players have all lightings and shadows on low setting and off will they see these lights?
