I like the idea of night, but understand that the reason it was done away with in the first place was that you could simply shift the gamma and it was like seeing in daylight anyway.  The players that did not know this trick were at a serious disadvantage.

Maybe a simple way to implement "night" would be for all icon ranges to be cut in half when the moon rises.  You can lower ambient light, but I still think the gamma correction will give some players an advantage (especially those of us with big graphics cards).

Options->Graphic Detail

Move the Gamma slider all the way to the left.  Instant night!

Poof!  Another wish granted!

No one flys at night.

It's dark.

Move your Gamma all the way to the RIGHT, no night. What's the point?

We used to have a full night cycle (darkness lasted 10-15 minutes as I recall) once the novelty wore off it was just frustrating flying around trying to see your opponents and it got old and boring very quickly.

Set up a Custom Arena that remains night.

Enable Lancs vs ME 110s

Or Ju 88s vs Mossies

See if anyone shows up.  :aok

Have you ever seen dark fog in real life?
