Update/Upgrade to flashlights with visual update?

[lev 21]

Will there be an upgrade or update to flashlights with the visual update? 

 

As it stands the current Arma flashlights are not bright enough and do not have a realistic lighting range.  Even in the pitch dark, shining a flashlight around reveals little more than ~15-20m in front of you and just feels off.  As such they find little use except in extreme situations where you have no other light source.

 

It would also be cool if BI was able to create "dark" spaces during the day.  Something like a cave like environment or windowless office room where it is dark despite it being day.  This could allow for flashlights to be useful even during the day and could lead to interesting gameplay in CQB environments.  But knowing the arma engine, this feature probably would not be easy to do or possible.

I don't know whether this will work in ArmA's engine, but a light with a negative value is a common CGI trick to suck light out of an area.

May you be blessed if you're right : I have a mission involving underground structures, and I'm looking for a better solution than setDate! ^^
