Merchant Distress Flares

[PhilipWebb059]

Greetings All;
Is there a mod that equips the merchants to fire a flare when attacked or sinking? I vaguely remember that when I hit one at night it fired a red flare but I cannot remember what mod?
Thanks

I want to say there was a SH4 effects for SH3 GWX that had this feature. I'm pretty sure it was tied to the Ship Sinking message so it didn't happen when a ship was just hit. It had to be sinking. Can't remember the mod author though. Sorry.

I use the optional flares mod from LSH3 in GWX and LSH3. You have white flares when a ship is attacked and red flares when sinking.

From the LSH3 5.1 manual...

LSH3_V5.1_SLS_Schiffshorn-Leuchtkugeln-Seenotsignal – Matz1962
With this adjustment of Racerboy's MOD “Rbs1_SH4_Effects_GWX_21_204f”, the ships in LSH3 shoot star-shells
and distress flares and merchants and warships use different horns when your U-boat is detected.

Wait, so is there a way to get this effect in GWX 3.0 Gold? I have racer boys mod and I do not ever recalling see red flairs or horns.

Interesting, I must check that out.

You need to download LSH3 v5.1. Between the optional mods, there is this mod you search. Apply it via JSGME AFTER Rb SH4 effects mods and AFTER your sound mod (if you use some of they). It works fine in GWX.
