I am on a patrol where I came across a large convoy of merchant ships, it was 2 AM and I could not see a darn thing in the periscopes. so I couldn't tell if the ship was coming bow on or at what angle it was. Any suggestions. I know there are a lot of out-dated mods out there now. :-? Robert

Is this fix included in GW or NYGM?? I think the atmosphere mods fix this as well. it comes standard with GW

It seems to me that GW made the skies darker at night.

And to me like NYGM made them too light...

Well I've got GW 1.1+UC for GW and the skies are still dark. Although I'm not sure if NYGM changed anything.

The problem your going to run into here is some will say its to dark yet the same image others will say is to light.

Some monitors simply have naturally brighter screens and some have darker screens so 2 people will see the same thing in 2 different ways.One will see it bright another will see it dark.

It all comes down to you have to find what works for your monitor and whether or not your monitor is calibrated properly in terms of contrast,brightness,colors,gamma etc. etc...

On my monitor the sky looks perfect..not to dark but not to light.All it took was using Adobe gamma to properly calibrate my monitor and a lilttle tweaking in the video card and all my games look great now.

What mods are you using CWorth? Maybe that Adobe program is the ticket, is it shareware?

Im just using the following

Grey Wolves v.1
Grey Wolves Update v1.1
GW 1.1 1024 & Overlay Fix
GW No Friendly Minefields
Camera Zoom Mod
Krillers smaller sun mod
Single Mission Pack
New Officer Icons
Multiskin Ships mod
Flower Corvette Multi-Skin pack

And as far as Adobe Gamma.I don't believe it is free as it came with and was installed with my copy of Adobe Photoshop CS.
