1) I'm guessing you can get to the arena settings>adjust time...  set it to 05:30 for night. To change colors, go to the colors tab in the arena settings section. I've played with them and think I came up with some nice realistic-looking sunrise/sunset/midnight/daytime colors.  Set the time multiplier to 100 to make it quicker to check out the transitions.

2) Type in .dplane 0 0 to disable everything everywhere ( .eplane 0 0 enables everything everywhere), or do it one by one by using #3 below.

3) Go to the fields setup and select a field, then select each plane/gv you want and enable/disable for that field

4) Create a .txt file (like thunderpocket.txt) with the message you want and save in your AcesHigh\MOTD folder. Then in the CM Tools section, select MOTD and type in the filename (just thunderpocket with no .txt extension), then upload.
