Use the gamma and brightness controls to adjust it to your likeness. That is what I had to do when I was using my old CRT.

Dont forget that now GWX includes a version of OLCs work which has darker nights than previously in GWX 2.1

Be advised, (specifically speaking of 16km visibility mods for SH3) using older environmental mods will bring back the old horizon demarcation quirk and the old wave polygons.

Marhk's Ocean MADNESS v2 mod was realy good for its time, but the evolution of environmental work for SH3 has gone far beyond it now.

(Good old Marhkimov. I remember when it was he and myself working on the Grey Wolves Supermod before there was ever anyone else on the team. My how time flies. Its been almost four years now. )

That's a bit depressing. I wish SH3 could model available night lighting depending on conditions (moon, cloud cover, etc.). I don't think I can stand it any darker than 2.1...unless conditions warrant it. S-I-G-H.

Maybe my new LCD, due Monday, will be better...one can only hope.

Not so, Prowler3. SH3 allows for only one light setting for night-time visibility. It is a limitation that we all must live with.

However, with OLC's work in GWX... try it before you judge it because the way the horizon is modelled, you will be able to make out the outline of ships in many cases, much better than in previously available environmental modifications.

Try it instead of guessing!

Oh, I will certainly try it. I'm starting the whole "clean install" as we speak. I wouldn't dream of not giving this much hard work, on your team's part, a go. That would be criminal. I did guess that SH3 limitations were the culprit...that was more "wishful thinking" on my part.

Whatever I find, I will certainly live with it. The screenshots alone, at the release thread, were enough to convince me. Many of the ugly annoyances I was going to ask about eventually, appear to be gone...great work!

I've got the idea, from other comments around, that I may be pleasantly surprised when the old CRT gets shelved and the new ASUS 26" LCD gets plugged in...but that will be another thread. I've never owned anything but CRT's.

I'm fully "in", Kpt. Lehmann!
