Title: Bring full night time or get rid of the sunset
Post by: B@tfinkV on April 04, 2007, 02:25:23 PM

word!

it just looks terrible, the sun at sunset destroys any of the graphical pleasures of day light flying and new plane models.


am i the only one?

I think sunrise/sunset add a good bit of realism.

Repeat?? Can't make out what you're saying through the sunset fog.

The lighting is too flat in AH to work anywhere around twilight..
The midnight moon is easier to see in than dusk and dawn.

one of the most simple fixed i can see is that the sun uses the altitude of your plane to determine the horizon.

look at the sun rising from the tower and its spot on.

look at it from 8k and the problems are obvious.

i think atleast 15 mins of night would be nice.

I liked full night and all the stars coming out but I was one of the few players who turned up my brightness to compensate so I could still see a little.

Maybe bring it back for a shorter length of time but with a little moonlight/starlight for those not "bright" enough to crank up their monitor brightness.

I'd suggest a full rotation. Realistic time going from 12:00 Noon to 12:00 midnight and back. Makes it fun for all and you know what you get when you enter.

radar for each indivdual designated night fighter

i dont really care about full night although i like the night graphics....



....what we should be addressing surely, is why the sun rising looks like a giant sunflower cut in half when viewed from above ground level.

Like...realtime?  I'd always be playing in the dark.


Wonder how many KC lights will fit on my 109....

Its gotten so when it gets dark..I find something else to do. There just isnt enough light reflection to make it work.

Then you'd see massive CARPET BOMBING BOMBERS. Bring forth the night.
Instead of hitting 4-5 bases, now well just hit one, everything would go. HEHE I like it:aok :p

I loved night time in the MA that would be the only time you can up a Ju88 and make it back to base with atleast one bomber. GV at night was the best. I would say three hours day one hour night.

Post by: Eurisko on April 05, 2007, 08:21:02 AM

Keep the time compression the same as it is now so if you can only play at
the same time every day/week its always different but ADD Night to the
rotation. I would like to see 30-60 mins of Night.

Fields, Towns, Ports, Fleets, Factories, etc. are all lit up along with Nav
lights on the aircraft! The more you can add to a Sim the better. If you
don't like the Night come back in an hour or change Arenas for a bit.

Short range enemy icons and slower dot radar updates (for planes without radar) between 9pm and 3am.

I miss the night fights we used to have a ball with it. Been a long time with no darkness. I think HiTech should give it a go & see how it works.

Im sure there will be a large amount of :cry, :noid & :furious going on thats why they got rid of it. Some of us old timers used to like it.

I enjoyed the night in AH1.  Night in AH2 looked immaculate last time I experienced it.

I'll go along with a brief spell of nightime  (maybe 30minutes or so)  no longer because i'm sure the novelty would wear off and people will start *****in.

Also as long as the bogeyman gets locked up before they do it and the werewolves!!!

AROOOOOOO!!!!

It just need a change in implementation (don't ask me how) as currently it kill my eyes.

And I can assure you that in real I can stand light at sunset !

I agree Bat. I generally log off or switch arenas when the light starts to fade beyond what I can fight in.


Cheers,

It could be used in a scenario: Midnight, short icons, and storm fronts..

Night does not have to be particularly dark.  You can still have the effect but keep it light enough to not be much worse than twilight is now.  I could really live without the painful sunset/sunrise.
