As you can tell from the subject, i am having problem with my night flights in FS9, i have had this since day1, The problem i have is that the outside world at night is too light and just not realistic, it just not right being able to see clouds when flying at night.

I have try to change setting on my monitor and i did manage to get it darker,but then the problem was at day it was also pretty dark.

I have a Geforce 7600GT graphics card.

Does anyone know of a good setting for colour and brightness to make my FS world more relistic at night.

Would be greatful for any help

I think you will just have to deal with it as it is. To be frank you are the first person I have ever heard of bringing this up as a problem.

 

There is no way that I know of to make the nights darker. That said they do say it's always darkest just before dawn, could be an option.

I wonder if your monitor just has a really bad contrast ratio.

Are you using Flight environment? or any other add-on that replaces the default cloud/skytextures?? This could be why you still see (clouds) at night

I use Flight Ehancer by Cielosim. It allows you define the Night Sky "darkness".

I know my TFT monitor does not really help that much, but i had this problem with my old monitor too, Also i do have Ground Enviroment Pro, but again i know its not that, becouse i had the problem before installing that program.

I mean its not a huge deal apart from the fact that anytime i fly in real life at night you never can see the clouds unless you are over a large city.

But i will look at that program Flight Enhancer from Cielosim, looks good,may download it and see what that does.

At some times, I have the same problem.

 

But mainly, I have the problem of Flight Simulator's time simulator sucking absolutely. E.g, it's dusk outside, but light out for you to read a book outside, but it is 99% night already in FS. Very annoying.

make sure you have FS setto the correct time and also that your PC is set to the correct time zone.
