Hello again,my frends! Can u help me again? Please,tell me how to landing in bad weather,like thunder storm,or rainy weather. Most of the tracks on the Eastern front are not asphalt and I cant see in the dark. I have to bail out like an idiot. Tell me please,is there any way of navigation lights down below?

Well... landing in bad weather is generally the least fun you can have if you want to land in-tact. Or... the most fun you can have if you want an extreme challenge.

Most missions don't involve bad weather but you might run into some. Recent patches have enabled landing lights to be setup by the mission builder. But if it wasn't setup then you may not be able to call upon them. Try the communication menu, talk to the tower, request airfield lights and see if they turn on.

That said... Eastern Front airbases tended to be little more than a flat field. So look closely and try and find the base I guess is the only option. What kind of campaign mission are you playing at present?

There are lights available in the mission builder objects list, which you can place around the runway.
They are available in different colors and brightness as well.
When placed in a mission, you will be able to ask them to be switched on from the cummunications tab.
But you will need to be close to the airfield, befor they are switched on and visible though.
