Ship Lights BUFF

[Daish]

Please provide the following:

Ship landing lights

Ships light modes (like the SRV) so we can have brighter lights on ships

Hey bud. Just to let you know your ship does have highbeams you can manually turn on. Number 4 panel, last tab to the right, somewhere in there. You can also keybind it.

However they are limited. But worry not, next patch after beta we are getting night vision goggles.

Chieftain has down lights around the SRV hatch

FDev - Please apply to all ships, ty

Dipped and main beam lights for the ship would be welcome*. Similarly landing lights pointing down.

* And now we have fog, fog lights too. ;-)

Many ships have nearly useless headlights and I entirely agree they should be buffed.

I actually hadn't fully appreciated how different each ship's lights were until the other day when I was on top of Mt Teide in the dark. I was lighting the way for an SRV driver with my Python ship lights and then suddenly the whole area around me lit up like a stadium and it turned out there was guy behind me in a T9.

It's a QOL issue that needs addressing.

Some ships (FDL, for example) have worse lights than the SRV, but a few are pretty useful.

A 300% light range and 200% brightness increase across the board, with a handful of the worse outliers seeing double that, would be nice, IMO...make them all useful, but preserve some distinction.

I was searching for a crash site in the pitch black night and it was literally impossible to see anything with the ship lights. The light just disappears after 100m or so. I ended up having to crank the gamma all the way up to see what was around me. Night vision will solve this, but I'd still like actual functioning lights.

Agree night vision is a welcome addition but it would be nice to have some interaction with landing lights and more powerful lights, to complete the whole landing process.


Landing maybe toggle once near the ground at a set metered height auto lights?

Ships lights definitely need a couple of settings like the SRV. ( they have added the cosmetic headlight symbol we just need the lights to go with it now.
