Dynamic Light

Dear Pilots!

Here is a small video demonstrating our new dynamic light sources feature.

From version 1.016 onward you will have an opportunity to use these new elements in missions such as the common camp fire which will light up the surrounding area automatically. For this purpose we have added new element settings to the Settings menu «Quantity of light sources». You will have an opportunity to set the number from 4 to 20, but please note that the bigger the number the bigger the hit on PC performance.

You’ll notice in the video that I have fired a signal pistol in different directions. It’s also a new element to 1.016. You will have an opportunity to fire the signal pistol in any direction you look at. You can also fire different color shells assigned to different keys. As an added bonus, if a flare round hits a pilot; he can be wounded or even killed. If you’re out of machine gun ammo, you can use the signal flare as a weapon of last resort. Flares cannot be used to destroy any other object such as a balloon; maybe this will be possible in the future.

Of course this is only the beginning and we still have a limit on how many light sources we can use in such a complicated project like a flight sim. However, we are happy that this new feature is available to you now. We hope that when the power of the average PC becomes even stronger in the future, it will allow us to light all the cities up, use candle bombs and star shells, which will create a very realistic environment and enable us to make even more cool features.

We wish you a good flight and happy hunting!
