Change the time of day/conditions in mission 8

[gmetzo]

I get what you want us to do. You want us to fly instruments only and that's great. 

However with how dark everything is ( because of the time of day ) as well as the storm it's next to impossible to spot anything with Gamma maxed out. 

I stumbled across Batumi airport on accident. If I didn't spot some of the taxiway signs or the runway I'd never suspect I was there. 

Then when it comes to depositing the fuel canister on the aircraft carrier the flight from Batumi to there is easy. 

But once again spotting the aircraft carrier and actually entering a stable hover with the load is next to impossible.

I've died 3 times to VRS near the carrier.

DCS lighting is <profanity>. Give us some more ambient lighting. Either change the time of day or remove the storm. 

Mission 8 as is , is for extreme mazochists or helicopter gods.

You can do it!
Which carrier do they use now, as the Carl Vinson is removed from the game.
Finding Batumi is pretty straight forward. Either just tune the ADF, fly high enough over the mountains. Or just fly west to the coast and follow it. Never had a issue with the darkness.
Can't remember how to find the carrier, while the storm and losing the cargo was my main concern. I probably did the mission 10-15 times.

To add to that, there are somekind of sparks or fireworks coming from the aircraft carrier and it acts like a stroboscopic light, making judging distances so hard. I too died two times while trying to land on the carrier. Skipped this mission, so frustrating because of no real reason. Either give us NVGs or turn the lights the carrier so we can see where to land.
