Spotlights?

[RobN]

Is there an object I can use as a spotlight? I like to make moody night-time scenes, but all I can use at the moment are searchlights, which require an enemy plane to activate.

Yes, the searchlights need an enemy plane to activate. So just insert "enemy" searchlights around your "friendly" airbase and you'll have all the lights you can handle.

Experiment with Searchlights set to neutral/no side.

I would like to elevate searchlights. I'd like them to be floating some distance off the ground, but it doesn't seem to be possible.

Correct !

Some lights and smoke are available to raise.

[RobN]

Yes, but the small lights do not illuminate objects like the searchlights do.

They used to be allowed elevation in FMB because i used them on static cruisers & battleships but that was a few patches back.

Would be a nice feature to allow them to be raised again.
