Not at the moment, GPB not having multiple light sources.

One could try just putting a black sky and some texture tricks, but I doubt it would be any good.

I had to keep the lights really simple on the GP500 version - the track already had poly count issues.



If I could have afforded the model size each lamp would have had it's own glare model, so each pole would have a dozen or so of these at the top(in front of individual lantern models).



You'd likely still want a model/tga component even if you could add real light sources, one real source per pole plus glare models would probably be easier on the engine than thousands of real lights.

Yeah but the shadows would kinda suck then ...
