i would rather see different weather over night

Night was only axed because too many people were crying about how dark it got twice a day. People would log off, figure out what times were night and avoid the arenas, or sit there and moan over the text channels until dawn.

Not saying there was no fun in flying at night, but...

Night fighting could be a good way to get more people in the early and mid war areanas if it was only available in them. I say leave it out of the late war though.

Hate to say it, guys... Been witness to 2 (or 3?:huh ) Santa nights so far, and the same wishes for nighttime after the Christmas Eve event. Haven't seen anything to indicate that the MA's will have it at all.

This actually isn't a bad idea.  There have been a lot of ideas that have been nixed to allow people to be able to play more easily.  Wind, runway craters, etc.

Why not have a full and relaxed realism arena kind of like they did in the old Air Warrior but different in that the full realism here introduces these environmental challenges rather than making the planes themselves easier to fly.

Start up an H2H arena and change the Morning and Night settings to 23:59 and 00:01 and you have a full day (including night) minus two minutes. Set the time multiplier to 5 and you have 5 hours for every real hour.

Moin

i hope thay will bring back night. i knew some bad people use the gamma "cheet" but i can live with that if we get the butivul night back.
Btw why not change icon range at night time? normal fighter get range of 1 maybe 2 k and 110 or mosquito get vis range of 10k (nightfighter).
Only a thought :-).

Bring back the night, i only want 10-20mins twis a day and only in one arena, nobody cant be anoied by this litel change.

Well, I was one of those people who moaned when night came around. I have a major problem seeing in the dark. Even now with the abbreviated night I usually switch to the ground game simply because I cannot distinguish where the runways are when it's dark or near dark. (And hence why I had a recreational cert in real life and if I return to real life flight I'd go for a sport cert to avoid the medical requirements)

But, my moaning was before we had an Alpha control in the game itself and before there was any worthwhile ground game. While I think the Alpha control defeats the purpose of night and personally don't mess with it, I can see night returning to the arenas.
