Hi folks, we have a need for a special effect to complete one of the current LDR projects (the Navion A). There are a couple of people on the LDR team who have made effects in the past but this item is a bit beyond their capabilities at the moment hence the call for assistance.

What we need is a parachute flare effect, something that will (a) emit light, (b) emit smoke and (c) descend slowly to the ground when fired from a moving aircraft. If it can also throw a light patch onto the ground when close then that's even better.

We have a working flare system on the Navion A in terms of the switches and coding to make it all happen but we are just missing the key component, the actual flare effect to use.

Anyone capable of making one for us or who knows of one that is available to freeware developers please shout up.

Thanks.
