The night is okay, I really like the dusk and dawn. I often have trouble seeing other planes, really frustrating for the odd time I can hang on someone's 6 and can't quite make out the plane to get a good bead on it....may have to do with my old, somewhat color-blind eyes, so green-red-brown-gray all look about the same, but I do enjoy the eye candy and don't mind the dark, and think the accurate stars are very cool. I sometimes play with adjusting gama and other settings just to help make out planes, and even icons visibly stand out, but don't "gama-out" the dark.
