Hi guys im doing a Gotha night bombing campaign with Kasta 2. i had a mission on the 15/09/1917 flying from Oostakker in Belgium..it was a 21.00hrs start and i got back to the airfield at 01.30 There were no lights (lit drums) at all during take off or landing..landing in particular was extremely difficult (had to use autopilot) is this normal for a nightime Gotha airfield? did the Gotha squadrons really land in pitch darkness? Thanks for any and all replies gents..im loving WOFF 3 this Gotha campaign is brilliant

I haven't experienced any of the new night lighting at the airfields. Tried all seasons, times, etc. and haven't seen anything. Thanks AceMedic hopefully a few others will chip in with their experiences regarding this subject Thank you.

I have only seen it on other airfields using "J" method, but never my own airfield.

Yes, I can confirm search lights at night, burning barrels by landing strips, lamps and headlights on trucks, etc. Hi pal..yep I can confirm 3 of the 4 ..but as others have said we can't seem to see them at the airfield (Fuel barrels)that's why I asked if all airfields had them? The Gotha campaign there was absolutely definitely no lights at the field either at takeoff 21.00hrs or when I returned at 01.30 hrs..it lost a bit of Immersion in my case as I had to use autopilot to land which i never use..just to add no mods were running. Thanks Hellshade

Adger, I haven't seen them either. Hi Banjoman thanks for your input. Can you imagine my face at 01.30 in the morning when trying to land a Gotha in the pitch black darkness. There was a few curse words

Turn up brightness, and contrast using graphic settings (if monitor is up full) and if you are in a bright room you may not see them they aren't "lighthouses" as such. can you try that
Try a QC at night at start over the field and look down. Ok thanks Pol will try that....last night when I flew this mission I was in a dark room only light I had was on my monitor. Thanks for your input though mate So Any airfield in QC Pol? Edit.just seen your pictures Pol..I never saw anything like that last night over Oostekker thank you

Hi Pol just done a QC over Oostekker and got this picture.. street lights to the right and burning drums to the left of my picture Could it be a possible issue with the campaign mode because these lights were definitely not there on my campaign mission last night? many thanks for all your help
