Beautiful!

Now if we could magically make it appear in campaign in every instance that it should be lit up like that, it would be perfect

They look really great, Anvart

If you want some more info about nav lights this is a good site:-

It gives intensities, arcs of visibility and placement details.

http://www.cvs1.co.uk/wyenavigation/c.html#22


A power-driven vessel underway shall exhibit:

1. a masthead light forward;
2. a second masthead light abaft of and higher than the forward one; except that a vessel of less than 50 metres in length shall not be obliged to exhibit such light but may do so;
3. sidelights;
4. a sternlight.

http://www.cvs1.co.uk/wyenavigation/annex1.html

On a power-driven vessel of 20 metres or more in length the masthead lights shall be placed as follows:

1. the forward masthead light, or if only one masthead light is carried, then that light, at a height above the hull of not less than 6 metres, and, if the breadth of the vessel exceeds 6 metres, then at a height above the hull not less than such breadth, so however that the light need not be placed at a greater height above the hull than 12 metres;
2. when two masthead lights are carried the after one shall be at least 4.5 metres vertically higher than the forward one.

It all depends on how far you want to go.

What you have done is really great!

Nice one again Anvart

As you have removed the weapon nodes are you going to clone and rename this for use as a neutral only ?

[frog7]

Well what can say it looks realy good....BUT they never ran with NAV lights on did they.Still it looks great maybe in harbour only then when they get out to sea they go off?

[Phylacista]

My opinion: The lighted windows and the spotlight for the cargo are are just amazing brilliant

I would prefer to have no position lights. The are too. colorfull, strong - Just white lighting looks better imho.

Great stuff.

[bigboywooly]

Lighting up the flags might look ok - did they do it in RL ?
maybe an idea is to " Flag " the hull skin like IAMBECOMELIFE was looking at

[bigboywooly]

very true
go for it Anvart

Why not do a poll before release?

This will be a great neutral ship.

If you can also manage a light on the flag, as you suggested, that will be even better.

There is a big demand for lighted neutral ships in the campaign files of SH3.

From my 18 years experience at sea, at night the only light on the bridge was an anglepoise over the chart table, and every now and then a torch over the coffee makings. Night vision was all important. Again forward facing port holes/windows had to have the deadlights closed/curtains drawn for the same reason. So in reality, during peace time and I assume on neutral ships during war time, the front of the superstructure of a ship would be relatively dark with possibly a faint glow showing through curtains in officer's cabins.

As I said to Anvart before, it depends on how far he wants/is able to go. What he has done so far is really good.

The bridge or pilot house lights would never be white,:hmm: they would be red to preserve night vision.

Thought that flag was gonna have a picture of batman in it :rotfl:
Great work as usual Anvart

Anvart,

This looks really good, especially for Hospital Ships. They should be lit up with lots of bright lights (like a modern cruise ship), with floodlights illuminating the flag and the funnel (or wherever the Red Cross emblem is found).

When you're done with the T2 you might want to take a look at Iambecomelife's Hospital Ship mod to see how it might be lit up.

Man, that really looks great.
