If I remember correctly; it wasn't the half hour black of night that was the problem: it was the 45 minute dusk and the 45 minute dawn that were so horrible.

Hubsonfire.....

OK, so I confused....How is adding realism ruininig the game....????

You speak of ruining the game for everyone else...don't you mean ruining the game for yourself...???

I simply would like to see the added aspect of night time, not to have a place to hide, but add a bit of trueism to what is already argueably the best sim game out there.

So eases up on your "screw all the other guys who pay to play...." attitude.

If you do not like historical realism in the game, then dig out your first generation Nintendo.

And we still have that, only instead of it being dark, the sun flips over to the other side of the map.

And I miss night time, I really do. It was here when I first played AH, and I absolutely loved it.

Besides, tracers and flaming planes look absolutely lovely at night

No.

WW2 was fought at daytime. Night fights were at the edge of *late* WW2 technology.

1 reason i prefer WW2 (or earlier) in a flight game: I don't want to play the simulation of a simulation (called radar).

Nighttime would be pointless. When we had many people complained about it and most people just turned up the gamma so they could see ruining the whole point of nighttime by making it look like daytime.

If there was a nighttime we should have radar on planes which would make it more historic and probably less people would turn up the gamma.

If you like your "realism" so much start lobbying to get night time in the CT and TOD. Most of the time I just log off during the dawn/dusk period, a total waste of my time. Gamma is not the solution either!!!

LMAO please tell me you joking. You ever hear of RAF night bomber raids and 110 night fighters and mossi night fighters.what was that time frame 1942-1943

I recommend you just turn down your video gamma and fly around pretending that it is night. When we had night, everyone just turned their gamma up to make it daytime.

It's a no-win situation and I think HTC has made the right decision.

That's right, at the first hint of darkness I turn up the gamma settings and I know I am not the only one. The only way night would work is if the option for gamma was disabled during the night.
