Post by: SKurj on March 29, 2002, 12:19:00 PM: I don't!!

Night just serves those who adjust monitor and gamma settings, which i refuse to do..

Post by: Hajo on March 29, 2002, 12:29:02 PM: I usually log off. I've tried turning lights off in the room and a few other things. I feel that if the cockpit lights weren't so bright...it would facilitate night action. Since that's not an option......flying at night is chiefly luck, gv , and high alt bomber time. I'll just log until it gets light.

Title: While I *HATE* these stupid poll things
Post by: Ouch on March 29, 2002, 12:29:28 PM: I just log off when night starts, and then log back in a couple of hours later.

I'd play more if it wasn't there.

Post by: J_A_B on March 29, 2002, 12:31:19 PM: I don't like night. I do not fly at night.

I know a lot of people log off at night. I wonder how many people log off because it's DAY? 0 I'm sure.

Log off and come back later.

Post by: AKcurly on March 29, 2002, 02:15:41 PM: I really dislike night given the current plane set. On the other hand, HiTech has done such a superb job of implementing night, I for one hate to see it wasted.

We need a few radar equipped planes that assist in the location of IB buffs. Icons go out to 6k (approximately 3.5 miles.) Radar out to 10 miles in enemy territory would make night a fun event.

As it is, yeah, I usually log at nightfall. :(

Post by: Kuben on March 29, 2002, 02:20:46 PM: The night can be frustrating when you find an enemy and he has adjusted his gamma setting thus can see me when I'm blind.
I usually log off or go to a different arena.

Post by: Exile on March 29, 2002, 02:24:37 PM: i always log when it starts to get dark

it looks cool, but it's just not playable
Title: if u don't like night in the ma post here
Post by: ZOSO on March 29, 2002, 02:24:59 PM: please get rid of night until there's some way to make it dark for everyone not just those who can't adjust their settings.
Title: if u don't like night in the ma post here
Post by: Kuben on March 29, 2002, 02:30:15 PM: Most can change their settings but many won't.
I just chose to not fly over screwing with my vid card every time night comes.

Post by: Udie on March 29, 2002, 02:37:34 PM: I hate the night time in AH or anyother ww2 flight sim. Last night I logged on at about 9:30 cst. The MA was dark so I logged to the CT, it was dark too. So I played IL2 for the next 2 hours until bedtime :( I had fun, but I would have had more fun in AH.

Title: Nah; night bores me to tears...
Post by: Toad on March 29, 2002, 03:45:04 PM: I either just chat with squaddies and friends or log off and do some "honey-do" stuff for a while.

Hey... come to think of it, maybe night does have some value. Seems to get the "boss" off my six if I watch a little TV with her or do a chore or two...

:D

Post by: Baine on March 29, 2002, 03:45:54 PM: Not a fan of night.
Would be cool, though, if we had night-fighting planes and some way of blocking gamma boosting.

Post by: Sandman on March 29, 2002, 03:49:36 PM: I log off. I used to stick around during night but something about 1.09 doesn't play nice with my Kyro vidcard.

Post by: kidcol on March 29, 2002, 04:07:15 PM: ok, (getting it out of the way), don't like night either (as posted in CT forum), but:

really think J_A_B's post sound like beginning of Seuss passage:

"I don't like night. I do not fly at night. "

anybody wanna continue it?

my entry:

I do not like the Night
I do not fly at night
I do not think it's right
to never see the fight
to never get in tight
to never see the kite
I's rather see the light
than be lost... in the night

Post by: rosco on March 29, 2002, 08:54:41 PM: Hate it. Log off when its night in the MA. You may like night but nobody logs off due to daylight.

And there are more hate night posts in that other thread than there are like night in here. Votes in. Get rid of night.

Post by: beet1e on March 30, 2002, 03:31:34 AM: Night makes it even harder to judge angles and critical distances - something that's not easy on a computer screen at any time. I don't like night, and avoid air to air night combat.

But night is a great time to pilot an Ostwind! You can actually see where the 37mm are going, their yellow tracer lighting up the night sky.

Post by: Replicant on March 30, 2002, 05:18:20 AM: I used to love the night but even with the lights switched off, the curtains closed etc., I still find it difficult to see, even more so under cloud cover too!

The thing that annoys me the most though is the clipboard map and the cockpits that are highly illuminated which causes the contrasting bright/dark to kill your eyes and give you a bloody headache. Well it does with me anyway.... Hmm.

Check how bright this cockpit is, it was damn hard to see any icons the panel was that bright!

Post by: mrsid2 on March 30, 2002, 05:29:32 AM: There used to be a time when it was dark always when I logged on, at that time I hated it. Now it rarely is night when I logon so I dont hate it.

So, if it's dark and I can't see - - > I can't play properly - - > not good.

It's especially annoying if the monitor has already some backlight from sun etc. which renders you practically blind.

Post by: guttboy on March 30, 2002, 09:33:11 AM: Well.......I like night......it adds to the game at least makes a cool change....I fly at night for a living so I am right at home...LOL....

I dont change a thing on my vid card however I have adjusted the brightness and contrast on my monitor and it does a WORLD of difference....

I do agree that the dusk/dawn times are a bit long but I deal with it....

My opinion...
