Which mod you use? If you use a GWX look at this thread http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=107562

Hi, I use this mod:
http://files.filefront.com/Marhkimov.../fileinfo.html
with GWX, should be ok for any 8k atmosphere.
Cheers.

That's correct, they should replace the ones in the various SHIII folders, Marhkimovs 3 skycolors files should replace the 3 in the SilentHunterIII\data\Env folder, none of them make it that much brighter but this is about the best I've found.
I may investigate myself later to see if I can improve it.
Cheers.

thanks, yer id say its because of this lcd's contrast ratio, my older lcd has a higher contrast ratio and is better at night where as this one just looks flat black from edge to edge :S, every other game looks beautiful mind you...
