high noon in the MA all day every day

Lose the darkness and near darkness, which looks even worse btw.  It adds nothing to the experience.  Save it for scenarios.

Sorry I like the night. It would be completely boring having it be a bright sunny day all the time.


I wouldn’t mind seeing a little rain or snow now and then.

Why do you enjoy being blind?

I despise the dark almost as much as Mak dislikes AWACS.

I was pretty clear. It’s boring to have high noon every day, all day, all night.

I’m playing at night. Why shouldn’t there be some night sometimes?

This is not just an air-to-air game.

seconded.  I hated it, especially the transition. Maybe if the dusk and dawn was reworked it would be a little bit better.

yeah, midnight rocks, dusk/dawn orange haze reminds me of the still occasional smog layer over the Ontario/San Bernardino Cali area.

So then you’re saying it’s… realistic? Sounds good to me.

Been saying this for years. Looks terrible and kills any action going on.

I haven't timed it.  Does dark night last for more than one minute?

Can’t ever be truly blind when you have the clipboard as a crutch to find the enemy.

I’m not a fan of the dark either. At least, in the dark, you could justify some planes having radar.

There's more to the problem then just the pure dead of night. It's the transition period which lasts nearly an hour of real time. Game looks terrible and makes it difficult to play in that time.

Ok I see I got it now. Realism for radars

But the functions of nature can go F itself. High noon all day!

Lame.

How many furballs happened at night in the real deal?

I've heard many adjust gamma to make it closer to daylight anyways.

I've got no qualms either way. Just sayin'
