As last Christmas Eve and this one Hitech, turned on the "Night".
The new nightime rocks, you can see the ground, water, cloud deck as the moonlight makes everything visible. Not to mention it's a nice change from
the glaring sun. I would love to see the "Night" brought back and it would be kewl to allow missions day and night.

night is for scenarios.

anything with detracts from the fight in MA is bad.

you would lose i guess 1/4 of the people online if they logged on and it was night.

I don't know, was very easy to see your enemy last night during the Santa sightings, and the graphics sure were a Giant step up over the old AH night time.............

maybe with enough responses we could get hmm...maybe a say 10 or 15 to 20 minute night time to see how it all goes............if everyone complains then all HTC has to do is take night time back out........

Why not have night time I guess. As it is, the dusk and dawn garbage seems to be longer than any of the nights we used to have. Dusk and dawn suck more than night ever did.

I would be in that percentile Furby.
I already logoff at times of low light (Dusk and Dawn) I too watched the Santa Film and frankly, it strains my eyes to play in the times of dark. I have 20x20 vision still at 44 yrs old. I dont like to strain my eyes for fear that my vision would deteriorate. I have about a 3 hour window of opportunity every evening to play Aces during the week. It seems to be Dusk or Dawn almost everytime o log on after work or sometime during that
window. So i log off for about an hour or so and come back. Much mor time offline and i would have to seriously consider canceling my account, It just wouldnt be enough quality time for me to continue to pay for my subscription. HTC can make it night time if the community so desires. But I believe you are correct in you assumption.

Holy Crap that night looks awesome...I cant believe I missed it...please post and and all screenies of night...

I think that is Night with the gamma set pretty high. Not at default.

The thing about night, dusk, dawn, etc., is it makes proper fighting very hard. Sure, you can see where the plane is because of the glow in the dark icons but, you can't discern its attitude or even tell whether you're looking at the top or the belly, it makes predicting moves next to impossible. In short it makes air to air combat incredibly difficult and un-fun. I do admit from a strictly eye-candy point of view it's quite neat though.

I agree Zazen..Its is very cool looking. It just isnt practical for me personally, what with available time to fly and all.

Having night, even if for just 10 minutes would be really cool.. Dusk, Night, Dawn.. Imagine how many crazy NOE night misssions would be running in those 10 minutes.
I am still a newbe, but that was alot of fun last night!

Night was too long , and about 4 times/24hours in AH1. Many players log off. But if moon is up, looks cool, and the grafic improved a lot since AH1.
I would like to have 30 min night +moonlight instead of anoying sunset/dawn.

Its been a while since we had night. It looks pretty cool what if they can make it weekends only with Night time to see how it goes. And go from there.

Happy Holidays all

well...10 mins wouldnt be enough. A Mission is going to take about 20 to 30 mins. A short period or even like wax suggest (weekends) could be a happy medium i would think.

as a trade off for Dusk and Dawn might also be a happy medium.
