Bug Description

Not a "bug" as such but it was suggested that I report it here.
MLT introduced, some years ago, an enhanced siglight .ace and accompanied by some edits to the Radius parameter in the .CFG file it was then possible to see the signal from more than a few hundred feet.
Most third-party route creators fiollowed MLTs lead.

But this effect doesn't work in OR and I was hoping that it could be made to do so at some point in the future.

As your team member responded when I posted this query, it's not a show-stopper but it would be nice to see it incorporated at some point.

Thanks.
Bruce Kennewell

The trick MLT used here was to edit the mip maps in texture image. The image is enlarged in the lower (distant) mips.

I am not sure why OR isn't observing this effect, but will investigate.

This is done with the signal glows.
