• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

For those Sunderland missions................Have you ever tried to spot one of those small rafts in CFS3, almost impossible without a marker. Note how the wave action is already breaking up the dye. They dumped it in when aircraft were in the area during daylight hours.

A dye marker, thats awesome Steve. We carry those on our helo crew vest (USCG) and the ones we have are a good target for about 30 minutes and mostly dissapated after an hour. Good stuff!
 
That's friggin awesome Steve!

I'm amazed at how you FX guys get these sort of things to work in CFS3. I can't wait to see this in action.:salute:
 
Thanks guys,

The mission builders already have it and Jeff is building some SAR missions. I do wish we had a different raft, the one we are using is the old CFS3 with no crewman in it.
