Nights are too clear

All I can say is...

Mod makers...PLEASE DONT MAKE THE NIGHTS SO DARK!!!

The only complaint I had with GWX is the nights were so dark I couldnt see the UZO on my own bridge due to my Dell Montior being very much darker than most monitors.

Its a lot easier to jack down your gamma or contrast (or play with sunglasses

) then it is to have to ALT-TAB all the time to adjust gamma UP so you can see at night, and during the day everything is washed out so ALT-TAB again to turn it down.

I think the night-time brightness is influenced by the position of the moon. When it's up, you have a very bright night. A little too bright perhaps (even on my old CRT monitor), but then again it helps when playing the game at times - all too often do I end up shutting the doors and curtains on a bright sunny day (in real life). My wife doesn't always approve!

It seems that the problem is with the moon phase. Even when it's just a small crescent, the brightness is significant. On moonless nights (well, when the moon is below the horizon, rather than a new moon), it's quite dark.

Then the bright UI is a pain, as the map, TAI, and recognition manual are dazzlingly bright when attacking.
