I agree.......leave it alone in fact make it longer. The game isn't just about flying around in single engine fighter planes. The GV portion of the game have gone through some radical changes, no reason why the Air Jocks can't endure the same changes..............grow up and suck it up. Don't forget to take your ball when you leave Fess

I love this community.

I wonder if everyone that loves the realism of the darkness participates in a lot of scenarios.  You know, those re-enactments in which obscured visibility might be more appropriate?
Seems like someone is always on text begging people to come to the SE Arena because of low turnout.

For the record, the starry sky is very nice, but my gamma goes way up at dusk and the game looks like crap.  Seeing the ground, water and enemy is somewhat critical to have a melee in the Melee Arena.  Melee Arena doesn't sound like a flight simulator or hide and seek survival game, it sounds like a place to find a fight.

 To every man upon this earth, death cometh soon or late.
 And how can man die better, than facing fearful odds.
 For the ashes of his fathers and the temples of his Gods."

It would be.  Plane mounted radar you actually have to interpret...  Clouds, spotlights, engine flames...

Not what we have.  +1 OP.

If you think you are having a 1v1 in the Main Arena, your SA has failed you.

It's a whole different level of toxic compared to any other game I've played...I don't understand it.

There currently seems to be a bug with daylight savings time conversions in my astrological code. This is causing an extra hour of darkness in the morning and none at night.

Working on it.

It's too early for mayflies. Must be some other bug. I have seen a few junebugs already.

Just being helpful.  :bolt:

I like the night, think it is over too quickly actually. And no, I no not adjust gamma to improve my visibility. I think it is way too easy to see as it is, but I want realism, not gamey features. The planes have instruments for a reason.

Last night on CraterMA, I almost didn't notice the evening, night, morning transition. Hitech seems to be working on it. Night now seems to be a variety of dusk.

I think Fess wants a game where the only activity is man and machine against man and machine with no automated interference, uneven odds or, extreme environmental changes. And everyone is waiting in line to fill his evening with ACM activity until he decides to log off. He pays his $14.95 like the rest of us and can dream. I've watched him close up in his P51 and he is very good at 1vs1 ACM, and seems to be only interested in that aspect of our game. Thursday night on my new terrain a player who likes similar types of action complained that there were too many fights going on, and all of the wrong kind of action. Now I'm confused, these forums used to burn with lamentations that all of the action had packed up and left no forwarding address. :bhead

When Fess posted this, nighttime was a very extreme environment change for a number of players including myself.

Self have you ever wondered what the Pacific tile set in the terrain editor looks like? Self I replied, you touch that evil application and I will scream. My wife yells in from the kitchen that me and myself needs to get a room together and stop driving her crazy. Bad self, I say baaaaaddddd self........ :confused:
