Except on "New Moon" nights, if the sky is clear, you see something at night, and with eye habituation to darkness, the Moon light can be sufficient to see pretty far and pretty well.

That was a problem on OFP where nights were full dark while in real world, by a "Full Moon", you can see very precise shadows of objects.

Realistic night lighting is a complicated issue; most sims fall somewhat short here. I'm a big fan of pitch black nights when it applies myself, but I acknowledge it's quite some work to get it right. It would also be nice if AI units had the same visibility problems then as the player does ;)

Must be admitted - ED achieved unbelievable level of realism with their lighgting coding - no other game ever comes even close to the feeling of landing at night with lights on in Lomac. When I experienced it for the first time, I had to keep reminding myself it was a game - it looked so real.

 

:D

 

P.S. - I adjust the monitor brightness untill I am happy about how "dark" it is outside...

Kind regards,

Hmmm, I don't wanna rain on your parade but I've seen brighter ones in real life, particularily one night landing on Paris-Roissy airport after a durable coldand dry north wind day without a single cloud that clarified the air so much we could see almost all stars from Paris!!! Most of the time, I agree that visual range is a bit shorter but who can do more can do less, using fog for example.

I agree with the people above.

 

The nights are too bright.

 

The night in LOMAC has always been a sore subject for me. To be blunt, I think it sucks.

For those of you who think your night is too bright you might want to learn how to setup your Contrast, Brightness, and Gamma. In my setup the nights look as they should,"Dark as Hell...LOL". There are software and templates you can use to setup your color and Brightness levels to a more realistic setting.

I used to think that they were too bright too. Then I bought a new monitor and they are as black as the inside of my eyelids.......lol. I'm not saying that you need a new monitor, but I did and I couldn't get it set up anymore as it was over 3 years old.
