Great work, as usual.
I'm using almost all the mods in your mod list (all the ones that affect night visibility) and it looks fantastic (nights AND days).
One thing I would change, and this is subjective: I don't see that much difference between a new moon night and a full moon night, I think the "bigger" moon nights should be a bit brighter, but I don't know if that's even possible and it's just my opinion.

How is this mod . Are the nights more realistic ? Is it harder to identify flags on a dark night ? Is the tonnage sunk at night more realistic ?

Good mod for sunny days without or few clouds.

Critical point: the U-Boot interieur looks truly enjoyable in this warmly lit ... a little bit too much enjoyable in my view.

I like the warmly lit, looks good. Perhaps at night, it should be a little bit colder. But if not, I like it as it is :up:

just wondering if raising the gamma seting helps with night vision yet still gets the great views?

this mod sounds great but my eyes aint that good so i cant do dark nights

Web, I have the same problem as you with dark nights. This mod does seem to help a lot.

Before it's install I had to turn off all the lights in my computer room and that helped just a small bit. Even had to use my reading specs too. Haven't had to do either so far after the install. Won't hurt to try it as you can always uninstall it when you want.... it should be the last mod you install.

Specially good to use with dark 'Night's Submarine textures POW'- interier mod: the contrast between shadows and highlitened zones is strengthened:salute:

I noticed some nights are really dark . I cannot tell where the sea meets the sky on the horizon . I have my ingame gamma setting right in the middle . Thats where i tested it . Yes you do need a darkened room . You can adjust the ingame gamma setting while playing the game .

Haven't tried this mod yet but wondering if its the moon phase affecting it? This affects the darker nights mod that I use making it much darker at times.

On really dark nights would there be medium fog ?

I cannot see any reason why there shouldn't be medium fog at night, and afaik night darkness shouldn't affect fog density/probability :hmm2:

Hi Sober
It depends, darker is definitely more realistic and yes flags are harder to identify. The thing that still needs adjusting is when the moon comes out.
When the moon comes out at various sizes, the 'Darker night' should be adjusted somehow. When I have a full Moon it seems like the Darkness is still trying to overpower (not the right word) the moons light. Anyway, the "darkness" seems very realistic indeed. I am wondering how much light an actual full moon would have bouncing off the water ect...
Would we still have as much trouble identifying objects with the moonlight reflecting everywhere?!:hmmm:
Great Mod! :up:

I've been on a cruise last year and during full moon during the cruise its really bright at night with the passing of other ships even a mile or two from us (of course they have lights) but just the outline of the ship could easily be made out. Open sea is alot clearer than on land of what you'd expect of viewing distances just with the light of the moon.

Moon phase should certainly have an affect on the darkness of nights during clear skies.

I tried your mod and will say . that I cannot see clearly at night and do have to turn off the room lights. Adding your MOD, simply not good for me. I would caution all to personalize your game. I have great respect for Sober mods and his work effort is awesome -- this one is not for me :Kaleun_Salute:

Hi CAJ
sober was always experimenting with his mods as they were an overall part of his mega mod.
He might have to tweak a mod to work with another.
You can see this with this mod as it is version 6.
If you take his best ever fog mod you are looking at version 31.

So while it might not work for you in your game it may well have worked in his mega mod with the other 100 mods in it.
