Night in AH
« on: July 25, 2009, 10:57:59 AM »
Anyone miss the night? We had it lastnight in FSO and it looked great! Cockpit lighting was really cool to. It looked so much better than it used to back when we used to have it. It was very nice treat to see the lighting detail.

Night definitely needs to be brought back in ASAP.

I am sick of this Utopian "perma-noon"  setting every time I log into AH.

Any screen shots?

I remember night... lots of people hated it. Not sure how they can improve on night but I'd like to see how the CM's set this one up if it's really that special... hehe

Night's changed since the old days, it seems.  The sky used to be pitch black, now it's dark blue.  Might be the gfx cards/monitors now vs then.  What's certain is that clouds aren't dark as they used to be.  They now glow white.  Or at least I haven't found how to make them as dark as they used to be.

I hate the "Evening" now in AH, can't see anything, have to turn the Gamma all the way up, and still not being able to hit anything anyways. Not me, I wouldn't care if it comes back.

There was a big discussion about bringing night back. I forget who started the thread, the OP was pushing for a separate arena even, but HT finally stepped in and said no way, no how.

I would love to see night in the MA's. The only problem that I can see is that for the people who don't live in the North America and South America, the day and night cycle would be messed up for them. They would be logging in during the day, having to play night in a night time setting. Until they find a solution for that I don't think we are going to get night.

I think it would be great... But only 2hrs for every 24hr cycle... And rotating 2hrs every 24hr cycle...
That way it would shift a little every day, so certain ppl who play at certain hrs wouldnt be "Stuck with it"...
But everyone would get a taste of it too...  Different=Good... At least for me...

HUH??  :huh

Not sure what ya meant there........you might be confused as to how ti works here.

A couple months back i wanted the game clock to represent any American time.. hehehe  lol    

I momentarily confused the hell outta myself thinking the game ran on actual time. Truth is, the games clock represents the position of the sun while in game. The clock also runs much faster than real world time allowing Multiple game days to pass in a real 24 hour period....not sure exactly how many per day.
