GWX Night sky

[dc1962]

The night sky is too light for my tastes, even when there is no illum I can see too much. Is there a way to darken the night sky and keep the 16 KM mod? I noticed it has loaded 16KM dark, 16 Km light and the 16 Km GWX, and I'm not sure If I should remove one of these, and if so, will it effect the graphics at all?

Thanks and great work on GWX!!

:o You're about the only GWX player to say the nights are too light.

IIRC - GWX has only two ATM mods. The default install version is the 8km ATM. The 16km ATM is an optional install via JSGME.

Are we talking about GW1.1a???

It doesn't sound as if you had a clean version of SH3 1.4b before you installed GWX.

small hijack here...

Does the GWX 16 km mod simulate a ship going hull down as it gets farther away like in NYGM?

With regards to the night brightness this has been swinging back and forth for about two years, there have been many attempts to get it as realistic as possible. I think the GW team have nailed it. A question for you though, have you been in a storm yet ? thats dark ! Try a few mods thats change the darkness till you find one that you like......but I dare say you will always come back to the current GW sky.

You may also want to try the default GWX night skies during all the different seasons, and moon phases. I have noticed that during some seasons, the sky is lighter. l During other seasons, I think a Destroyer could be 300 meters away and I wouldn't see it. The moon also makes a pretty big difference, as well as cloud cover.

Bottom line, there seems to be a variation in the night skies throughout your career.

Hi i'm new in SH3. With GWX tryied force96 single mission and i can't see anything only white dots over my head - stars and moon - thats all. It's clear night and moon is high on the sky and i see absolutely nothing - sea is black as well as sky (I can't see horizon), my sub is completly invisible and ships is invisible to mee too. I think it's dark enough for me and maybe is it dark more than could be because the moon and cear night .... But i must say again - i'm new here so maybe is it normal :arrgh!:

Welcome aboard oiler :arrgh!:

Firstly...try starting a career and report back what you see...your system specs would be a help too :up:

Sry i wrote it not so clear - i think only exterior. In u-boat and interface is visible as normal. Now i tried visibility on clear instalation in other mission and there i can see sea waves near sub. Sub is a little bit better visible. But water has same black color as sky. So probably it's normal. Opteron144@2.8,x1900xtx,2GigRam,X-fi
