yes I like it too, but also flakmokey's model looks impressive (currently working on it). After the appropriate treatment I ma sure that the other lighthouses will look pretty good too. It is unbelivable ho much textures/materials can change the look of the same mesh
By the way: do you think that dat format lighthouses would look as good as GR2 ones? making them dat objects would speed up things very much (i have better experience of them).

Yes, I agree. On the other hand the lack of navigation beacons would have posed a serious risk for coastal home traffic, and I am pretty sure that within the first month from its declaration of war, USA kept applying peacetime rules, as far as ship's and coastal illumination was concerned. See the following wikipedia article on the subject:

also, thinking out loud, if we accepted lit buoys, why shouldn't we accept operational lighthouses?
