Can you imagine flying at night with only friendly icons enabled?  Sweet!

drove an M3 from 43 to 46 this morning during the night
had just picked up Ghosth's icon when I saw a Rook A6M icon circling overhead.
Even though it was so dark he couldna seen me long distance dot if it existed it was still a thrilling drive.  Til I got within 2k or so of Ghosth and the smoke pouring out of the hanger dropped me frame rates to 2-3/sec and it became terrifying.  Started an easy turn at the same instant the FPS dropped and for a couple seconds I thought I was gonna roll the truck over

flying at night is COOL... except, while the sky is dark, the plane is still being illluminated by a "magical sun" hovering somewhere below the horizon....

Pyro/HiTech, please go for the gusto and kill the lights totally (or perhaps add a dim moon for a night lightsource)... then with our now pitchdark cockpit interiors, the addition of a red-cockpit-light and an accociated botton to activate it, would make AH have the MOST IMMERSIVE NIGHT FLYING EVER.

Night is cool.  I was at 23k in a B-17 when it got dark, and started wondering where those mountains were.   (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Be nice to be able to dim the instruments a bit.
