I used the Nvidia control panel to boost the gamma, I tried just about everything on a CRT monitor but even in the dark at night, the flags were impossible to make out beyond 500m and the whole environment was so dark I couldnt see anything past 1500m.

My gamma is set to 1.59 which is pretty high but not so high the rest of the colors have noticeable bleed, Could even go with 1.5, any improvement is helpful. I tried turning up brightness and contract on the monitor itself but that didnt help.

Basically I don't think its unrealistic that you cant id the flags at night until you are about 1km at night, that is pretty realistic I think, sometimes, you have to make best guess what you are looking at too. More for the shapes.

Real darkness, your eyes dont see colors they see shapes at very low light levels.
