Twas maddening.  If I want my kids to see Santa i'll pop in a video for them.
I didn't log on to a site for which I pay to play on in order to have this kind of bush league stuff happen.  Do it in an arena where their aren't a ton  of people.... or don't do it at all.

LOL ... whinning about an Aces High tradition ... you were forwarned .

I'd luv to see the night brought back ... it was great ... and even better now that I dont have to touch my gamma at all .
the only problem is the Mrs Roo gets out the candles and puts on the stockings when I dim the lights in the room.

Sorry Meatwad.

I'd missed it when HTC upped as a Bish Santa. So, when I heard about it, And found out that he was at 41 as a rook, Me and VansCrew decided to fly over and have a look. As it was, people tried to engage us all the way to the Red Man's AO. I'd twisted my way out of a couple of spots, and your LA looked like one of the ones that had made a pass at me...Thought that whoever was trying to deprive my 7 yr. old of a look at SC, was going to get a 20mm lump of coal in their stocking.

     'Course, After that, I believe someone aced the Sleigh, He went nit, and the rooks were S.O.L.

Anyway, Enjoy the rest of your holidays!

P.S. Maybe HiTech can up a Baby new year on Dec.31st.

I beg to differ.  You must have your gamma set at 2 or something.  I couldn't see the map, cons or anything else.  Bombing was impossible.  And I had the pleasure of losing three bombers to a con I never saw.  Some challenge.

Sound EXACTLY like a challenge to me, one that you utterly failed to meet, but a challenge nonetheless.

You almost made me spit coffee all over my screen. Almost.

YOUR monitor isnt set up correctly.
thats not intended as sarcasm but rather what the real deal is

Posted a link a while back on how to properly calibrate your monitor.

I know when I went there I thought I had mine set up pretty good.
And even mine was off and a set a bit too dark.

Im busy wrapping right now But when Im done I'll look for the thread I posed the link in and repost it

any luck on finding that thread?

When you adjust your monitor for night are you turning night into day by adgusting the gamma?

[ridley1]

Stickpig.....when in the game.. go to clipboard....options/ graphic detail.....

when you adjust your gamma you can turn night into a Las Vegas high noon on the summer solstice.

What an ass.  Hey Ed, I challenge you to put on a blindfold, and up some bombers in one of the LWAs.  Let me know how you do.

[Edbert]

Hahaha...I can't hit squat with bombers...day or night...blindfolded or not....and yeah, I understand it is a challenge which I cannot meet....the difference is I'm not personally offended by that fact like you apparently are...and I try not to cast personal insults like you have.

You know, Santa reads these forums.

I've never gotten to see Santa.  I'm always 200 miles away doing the family thing with no computer in sight.

I wish they could do it one more night like Christmas Day (night) or New Years for those of us who are always gone but I guess it just wouldn't be the same.

Damn it, I'm not getting my $14.95 worth.  I quit!

Even though I'd never get to see it how about making all the troops into little grinches for the night?  The Grinch who stole A5!  perfect.

u dont get it, this was something that even as an adult, i myself thought was awsome, this happens once a year and everyone gripes bout it. get a grip....the dark isnt here to stay, it was just for a few mins on one night. sorry bout ur bad luck with ur fight but come on....its just a game.

[betty]

I upped some bombers that night and bombed just fine. Geez I also got kills and knocked down a shed or two. Didn't have to adjust a thing.

I'm always too busy at Christmas to log on. I would sort of like to see the whole "get into the spirit" display. I wouldn't want night back on a regular basis but once for a little here & there isn't bad. Adjust dem' gamma lol

[WMLute]

just remember to ask HT to adjust "ColorLight[night]" so all sliders are to the right, and night time is as clear as day time.
