Both are magnificient.
Without further ado I will try out the first order lense in the latern room of Flakmonkeys lighthouse. |
I modelled that lens for one of the tall European landfall lighths destroyed during WWII: the grand phare de l'īle de Sein, which was about two times taller than Flakmonkey's lighthouse. I don't know if a 1st order lens will fit within its lantern house...

You are right, that's exactly what I had in mind when I modelled it

Would be a good point to start.

Good idea. There is plenty of free information, pictures and drawings on any order of Fresnel lense, so you shouldn't have problems finding them, but if by any chance they have been removed, I should have something saved in my archive

But - of course - it will take its time.

No rush

In either of this cases the lense was functioning flawlessly.
Henceforth there seems to be no further obstacle in creating one central fresnel file into the library folder.

I was sure about that. Also note that for collision of land units you can use the CollisionableObject controller. In all the SH games, this controller is used only with terrain objects, but as I have experimented, it also works with ship equipments (see the TWoS' coastal artillery bunker) and land units (see one of the testing versions of the La Plate lighthouse in Kendras' Lighthouse mod).
