make night sky more realistic, including milky way


Recommended Posts

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE add reasonably realistic night sky and milky way. 

I am new to DCS and find it quite awesome and beautiful in VR.

However, I was flying a night mission at 34,000 AGL in the incredible raven one fury campaign and the DCS night sky was completely immersion breaking!

You got the clouds, the sea, and the moon, all perfect and intoxicating in VR, and then the night sky is totally lame.

I guess if you are located in Moscow or another big city, with extreme light pollution, it is maybe possible that you have no idea what I am talking about, maybe you have never actually seen more than 50 faint stars above your head at once, but there are actually stars up there and they should look glorious from high altitude. look it up.

I am aware people are complaining about this for a long time, and I find it quite puzzling you have not fixed it yet.

PLEASE HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT IN 2025 THE AWESOME DCS WORLD HAS SUCH LAME INEXCUSABLE NIGHT SKY ?!?

Not just the sky, but city glow is also completely absent. There is a lot of room for improvement when it comes to lighting at night.

In my opinion the most important change to night lighting concern twilight hours. Right now DCS has a distinct point at which it 'officially becomes night' and the cockpit lighting goes from one set of affairs to the other in the blink of an eye.

The glow of city lights, realistic stars, nebula, the galactic center, aka "Milky Way" and possible meteor showers ( Falling Stars ) would be very cool.

That's right, at night cities should make the surrounding sky glow and the bottom of clouds above it visible

yes there are stars in the southern sky and I want to see them. It would be awesome to have a historically correct night sky
