I guess some people are willing to ignore some aspects to gain others- ie they like the dark storm area and ignore the ridiculous grey sheet metal box. Others (like me) just see the grey box and go elsewhere. Regarding night: we see a full moon yet the full night is way way too dark to be realistic. The human eye has an enormous range of sensitivity- it has a dynamic range of something like a million or more. At night it becomes way more sensitive (but in black and white only, no color vision). In fact, your eyeball can actually detect a single photon. On moonlite non-overcast nights if you let your eyes dark adapt for at least ten minutes, you will be able to clearly see buildings, roads, mountains etc even in areas with no lighting. In AH some people that don't have enough range in their montior's gamma get pitch black at night. How are they suppose to do anything? A better simulation for night would be something like the current dusk, but in grey scale only.
