Bring on the Night!
« on: January 25, 2006, 10:44:51 PM »
Folks....I've got to say the new night time effect that we experienced Christmas Eve is fun.  The old night time we had in AH1 was a bit tough to see in.  The new night time is gorgeous, and easier to see aircraft.  Instead of black dots you actually see a dull gray dot that occurs when the moon reflects off the aircraft.  The Weds night snapshot 2nd frame was flown at night and was an absolute blast and believe it or not is easier to see in then the twilight or Dusk that we experience in the MA.

Would be neat to try out for maybe a week on a trial basis. See how it goes.

Im all for bringin back night.  Some people may argue that in real life fighter planes didnt fly at night time, but I dont think spits fought P-51's either.

No, please.
Even current sunrise/sunset too dark for me, so i dont fly until 8 am and after 4 pm usually. Leave night for SEA.

Dawn and Dusk and the only times vis is real bad for me. Lastnight flying at night in the snapshot , I could see just as good as at 12 noon. The only difference is the dots I couldnt see..but hey its night. The planes shown like there was a spotlight on them, and it made seeing them while fighting very nice.

As I recall, dusk, night and dawn all seemed to last about 20 minutes each. Now dawn and dusk are considerably longer, or seem so anyway.

I say bring it back the way it was.

Don't matter much with ingame gamma control, before it was a pain to go out and change it on card panel but just easy now.

I say get rid of dawn and dusk all together in the MA.  You want night, fly SEA or do it in AtoA.  Leave the MA for fighting.

I thought that ruins the monitor. And if someone needs to "cheat" to see during night, they need to find a new game where it might matter more.
