Night is too dark in mission!
« on: March 24, 2013, 05:16:59 AM »

Hello to all ,S!

This will probably sound akward! But I have a slight problem.....I have a small campaign, in which some of the missions are at night and it is really pitch black... can only see lights of the base,  cokpit, lights on, but very difficult to see where I am going ???

Is there any way to make the night a bit less dark....?

May be I am getting to old and my vision is not so good..  :( 

Thank you for any tips, advise or help  ;D

One way would be to simply adjust Brightness/Contrast/Gamma on your vid card.

Do I do this via FMB?

There is a tab called "Configure". You click on it, then click on date, then set the time to day. Warning! It is in 24 hour clock. If you put 1 o'clock, you put 1 am. Put 13 o'clock for 1 pm.

Siegfrid if you can't get it worked out adjusting your graphics card or monitor then try this low tech fix. Turn off the lights, close the curtains and fly the night mission in a dark room. Better yet, fly it at night with no room or ambient light at all. It's not convenient but it works.

Caveat: If you use FaceTrackNoIR, that won't work in the dark. ;)

Catahoulak9, Thanks for the tips.....I did adjust my graphic card but that was not really enough.....So Very good idea...I will try this tonight....Merci

Bonez, I do not use any Track IR or else..... :-[
And LAstly Thanks to all for your help.....I have also managed to changed the time in the Mission, but it is not the best thing to do, if you want to enjoy the thrill of a Nigght mission...is it? So again i will test the last tips

Merci

Interesting but, how can I guess when its full moon? I assume its a matter of trial & error, isn't it? :-X
