Golgo's Propeller for The Night Mission (beta 2)
by Golgo11 - 26 Apr. 2009
*** This patch is still Beta version. Please use this patch at Your Own Risk. Thank you! *** * Examples
 ** This patch works only in Glide mode! **
Features.  Lo-Visi Mode Propeller in the Night 
 This patch changes a dark "Propeller Rotation" to a slightly brighter in the Day and luminous one in the Night.
Using this patch with my other patch, "Mission in The Dark", you can find bogies and your wingmen easier in the night mission. 
 I made this patch for Jolly's PL1 with WFP 2 & Mark_66's MFP 4.  I think that this patch may be available with other PL1 type UOPs but I've not tested yet.  Please backup your whole RedBaron3D folder before your trying this patch.

Gray Installation & Usage: Please see above.


(Note: "NiteProp"patch installs  "prop03_2.bmp" for the night into \Data\simpatch by CM11.)
prop03_2.bmp   - Brown
(in lowers.vol)
- - Brown
(only for FCJ 2?)
*  If you experience drastic FPS dropping, IMHO, you had better not install the "prop03.pab" file (Brown colored propeller rotation shade in the day).
 In this case, you will lose Brown shade of Propeller Rotation in F1 and F2 Cockpit View, but none of critical errors may occur since RB will use UOP's default "Light Gray shade" instead of it.
prop03_2.aph   - Light Gray Light Gray
(for WFP 2?)
- Depends on "3dpatch.vol",  "lowers.vol" or UOPs in use 
* (1) Default "prop03.pub" for the Day has Light Brown shade but there are alternatives for advanced user.  Graybeard style Dark Brown Prop shade (removed some Dark Green dots frorn his original) and Two toned Light Brown one.              
* (2) Default "prop03.pub" for the Night is set to Lo-visible mode. Good looking but difficult finding bogeis that are in the distance.
There is an alternative for advanced user, that is set to Hi-visible mode. Not realistic but it will help your finding bogeis in the distance and chasing foes. 
prop03-a.bmp   - Light Gray - - Light Gray
(only for FCJ  2?)
             
 Without SWWISA members' help, I can not finish to make this patch. 
 Thanks to Geybeard, Mark_66, RACX4, Skidmark and everyone who offered kind advice, it was all appreciated.
