i thought about this for awhile sence many online games had 24hr days or less but id like to see night raids in aceshigh and the sun not just always directly up so every plane who had something on there 6 could just go vertical and be safe because the person on there 6 coulndt see them. also a few night raids would be awesome in aceshigh

The sun isn't always at 12 noon. It is dusk and dawn, just not night. Night drove players away.
-
I want night time. :aok

Well, night time would give HTC a reason to add this little beauty

Once upon a time we had a complete day/night cycle. I can't say why HTC decided to do away with it and went to the dawn to dusk schedule that we now have.
What I can say as a player who experienced it way back when is that once the novelty of night wore off it was rather frustrating trying to dogfight at night and I got to the point where I would log off till the sun came back up.
-
when it went to night I logged. For a multitude of various and divergent reasons it just sucked trying to play this game in the virtual dark. Hell, if I had my way I would axe HiTech to put the sun at high noon and leave it there.

The quickest way to clear out the arenas was when night time rolled along, majority of the players would log off for an hour or two and then come back when the same came back up.

24 hours days in which time zone?

We had night time in FA and man was it unpopular.The biggest reason was 1 just cant see that good 2- not everyone has the same systems,Same thing it got dark and the rooms emptied.I did like our one room where we had dynamic weather,rain, wind clouds,sun it was fun,and man did you have to compensate for bomb drops when the old wind sock was straight out. so please leave the lights on.

Well I don't see the point of having dawn and dusk then if no one wants to have night. Leave the sun at high noon.
-
when its dark all players have to do is adjust the gama settings and u have daylight again. so no real point as some players will play the game as night while others will adjust there settings and be playing in nearly daylight.

So, conversely, you can also adjust your gamma to make it night time.
Go for it.
Wish granted. :x

I tried to find the quote, but I can't (or the search tool is being picky), but to paraphrase somebody whom I think was Hitech himself: "When the sun set most of the server logged off." and at another time I believe he also said "night isn't coming back" (also a paraphrase).
-
What krusty said.
Too many people thought true night time was too much of a challenge.
Hitech tried it both ways, and this is the way with the fewest whines.
So this is what we have, and will continue to have.
-
BAH.. I understand the whole 'night causes complaints' thing... but I don't understand why it can't be nighttime for only about 30 minutes or so.. just long enough to run a couple of sorties. Heck, I've waited longer just to GET INTO an arena...
-
it would give new meaning to "the night shift"
-

That's quite a spin of words there.... "too challenging" implies the problem is one of players without skills or abilities, rather than the environment itself being the issue.
WW2 was a fairweather battlefield. Why do you think Normandy was delayed so many times? Fighters didn't fly at night. Night was for sneaking by enemies undetected (usually bombers scattered and broken formations). Guess what? When it was night, you didn't have furballs in WW2. Outside of night fighters (a special exception to the rule, and usually lone wolfs hunting bombers) night was a no-fly time. Its only purpose was to avoid any and all contact with the enemy, prevent any risk of being seen (and actually having to fight) and guess what?
Only dweebs want to fly a game that way. That's right, I said it. Folks that want night keep asking for night back for the same reasons. They want kills without any risk of being seen. Same reason GVers whine about being killed by planes.
-
You will still be seen because while it's night, it's still bright in the arena (moon), plus you have the nice big glowing red neon sign under your plane.
-
I would like a challange, and I say give us night. You'll know who the best are when the weak leave when night comes (joking) :D
-
I'd like night and/or realistic cloud banks, just so that there'd be an opportunity to practice some stealth in this game :D
-
We could have the orange arena with nightime and the rest without. Just an idea...
