Well, I don't know if you're blind or if your monitor just sucks monkey nuts, but that's not my problem.  Hell, I'm flying on a PIII 1GHz with a GeForce 3 right now.  Some are flying with P4 supermachines with Radeon 9800 cards, and others are flying on 'puters that are slower than mine.  I call THAT imbalance.  Well, not really, 'cause I don't care about that either, but it fits in nicely with your line of thinking.

With the two video cards that I've had, this and my V5-5500, I've been able to see planes at night when I get up close.  It sure as hell isn't easy to see them, but I can manage to follow them when I'm close.  The only setting I've ever changed on my monitor (apart from geometry and placement) is brightness and contrast, which have both been lowered from the factory setting.

Some choose to up their "gamma" (whatever that is) and others might be able to see better than me too, but I really don't care.  I enjoy the change of pace that flying at night brings, it's different and it's fun - to me.  If it went away I wouldn't cry about it, but I hope it stays.  I like it.  Night Rules!...at least for the short time that it appears in the MA.

-edit-  Oh, and please accept my humblest apologies for responding to your question to Metatard.  I thought it was open to anyone who liked nights, but I was obviously horribly mistaken.

Why don't we just get rid of airfields altogether and have air spawns?  That would fix everything, right?

I'm not blind, but trying to fly at night makes me wonder sometimes.  I don't "really" try it that often anyway.

You like night, I think night sucks.  I'll just leave it to you then, I don't fly when it is dark.

Not my problem...I just presented my opinion and a few questions.

Enjoy it.

...and I forgive you for responding to Metatron's questions...really.

and metavoss...  you say you don't take advantage of the gamma correction che.. er, loophole but.... metavoss not using a cheezy loophole in gameplay?   If there is one thing I know about metavoss the spawncamping loophole guy is.... he uses every che.. er... loophole available.

Maybe moving the feilds closer together wont fix this one...  

But I suppose its worth a try  ;)

Maybe if you moved the Daytime Closer together would be the fix???
