Night makes it even harder to judge angles and critical distances - something that's not easy on a computer screen at any time. I don't like night, and avoid air to air night combat.

But night is a great time to pilot an Ostwind! You can actually see where the 37mm are going, their yellow tracer lighting up the night sky.

I used to love the night but even with the lights switched off, the curtains closed etc., I still find it difficult to see, even more so under cloud cover too!  

The thing that annoys me the most though is the clipboard map and the cockpits that are highly illuminated which causes the contrasting bright/dark to kill your eyes and give you a bloody headache.  Well it does with me anyway....  Hmm.

Check how bright this cockpit is, it was damn hard to see any icons the panel was that bright!

There used to be a time when it was dark always when I logged on, at that time I hated it. Now it rarely is night when I logon so I dont hate it.

So, if it's dark and I can't see - - > I can't play properly - - > not good.

It's especially annoying if the monitor has already some backlight from sun etc. which renders you practically blind.

Well.......I like night......it adds to the game at least makes a cool change....I fly at night for a living so I am right at home...LOL....

I dont change a thing on my vid card however I have adjusted the brightness and contrast on my monitor and it does a WORLD of difference....

I do agree that the dusk/dawn times are a bit long but I deal with it....

My opinion...

Night kills my framerate...only way it is playable is to try and find a gv fight.

Don't like night.  Messes up air-to-air combat.
