Author Topic: Night was removed so why there is still dusk and dawn ? (Read 821 times)

I don't know why but it has always killed my eyes to the point I need to log after 30 min or my eyes start to water.

When IRL I never had any trouble ...

because that's how night is removed. Otherwise you'd have 2 suns. One setting and one rising. I'm not sure if you can freeze time in the arena settings. Propblem with that wqould be you'd remove the SUN as a strategic advantage.

I just wish the wun would set some other time than 10:00pm EDT! How about 10:00pm PDT?

Fear the endless glare! Really, it was better with a short sunset and sunrise and 20 mins of kinda darkness... much better on the total eye strain factor. Not to mention no more night time commando raids.

It was purposely done.....I can't see when the Sun 12 o'clock let alone when it's on the horizon. Called the Ole Screw Hajo Trick!

How many times has the glaring sun messed me up or made me blind? I say now what I say often in real life...

I wish someone would turn it off. How about overcast?

Night please or get rid of all the nightime skins. Night Night Night!

Doesn't work that way Clifra. With time settings that remove dusk/dawn too, the sun immediately moves to the east once it enters 'dusk'.

I suppose the dusk/dawn is about the absolute limit where most people will tolerate lowlight conditions and not log out.

It's not the low light that bother me.

It's the faulty (IMO) implementation,during dusk or dawn he screen ressemble nothing I've ever seen.

And I don't have Nyctalopia (I'm sure the test is less than 3 month old

)

I don't mind the dusk & dawn, but the 12 oclock sun blaring in your eyes gets old.
How bout some overcast, cloudy type weather here and there?

Seems the sun is always shining bright 95% of the time, just gets old after while.
Ever notice how 99% of the map is green? How does it get and stay so green with no rain or dampness? Not even a little drizzle:confused:

just my 2cents

i personally would love to see night, and maybe have spotlights added, kinda like auto flak, just to make fights more real and slightly easier

Kegger26 · « **Reply #11 on:** June 07, 2005, 07:15:41 AM »

I would love to see night return to the MA. Back when I flew C-47s in the main that was the only time I felt some what safe.

Shuckins · « **Reply #12 on:** June 07, 2005, 08:25:30 AM »

How about maps that have more than one season. A fall or winter map would be a nice change occasionally.

Hajo · « **Reply #13 on:** June 07, 2005, 09:13:06 AM »

Yes Seasons would be nice. Some of you who flew AW remember the Krait squadron that made "overlays" of the maps so you could fly a desert terrain....Winter over the Hedgerow effect and so on. It absolutely boosted gameplay. Skies were also changable. Wasn't as mundane as flying over the same terrain everyday....one could switch to suit taste.

Those are all good ideas too, I like the night time and search lights, wouldn't that be a hoot.
