logging isn't a bad idea eiher because if the next guy is looking at day and you aren't then he has an unrealistic advantage.

i'm still waiting for searchlights and flak guns firing over the bigger bases and cities. then fighters that weren't radar equipped etc could operate as they did in rl. proper landing lights would also be nice.

so much could be done with night - it seems incomplete as is.

I agree with Wotan 100%

Most (not all but most) of the guys who like night are those who turn up their brightness and gamma and basically fly around with a stupid, unreal advantage.

Then again, who WOULDN'T like being able to fly around in day-like conditions getting a bunch of kills on people who can't even see you to defend themselves (I did this at a friend's house once and that's exactly what it was like). I mean, talking about an easy way to build up your score!

Sorry, but that's not my cup of tea. Night is pointless. Heck, even the people who would normally benefit from night--bomber and GV drivers--really don't because of the jerks who "adjust" the night out of existance. And no, I don't mean you mrfish, I know what it's like to have a dark monitor.

Using Digital Vibrance doesn't turn night into day, it allows me to see more detail, especially during the rise and set of the sun.

I don't adjust my gamma, monitor brightness, or anything else for night flying.

I like night flying just as much as day flying, I just wish more damn people would take off in bombers during night so I can intercept them.

I don't adjust the monitor. I adjust the room... lights off.

IMHO, if you wish to adjust your monitor to cancel the night, go right ahead. You're paying $15 per month so enjoy it anyway you like.

ok just thought i would add this to the discussion +)

I used to play a quake2 mod which was called GLOOM (i think...)
Anyways it involved marines versus bugs basically.
As a bug you could hang from the ceilings, hide in corners etc. The maps were typically quite dark...

It was a great mod!! I had a blast playin as a bug +)

Guess what destroyed the mod?
Gamma and brightness adjustments... it became so one sided the balance was lost.
