24 hour days!!!
« on: June 21, 2010, 11:12:49 AM »
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.

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.

Before you were born there was night time in AH.

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.
