Recognizing flags at night?

using the cover of darkness is a well known u-boot strategy.

It has been said before in different topics, GWX 3.0 is quite dark. Some people cannot see anything at night.

Probably GWX has been made on a specific Video card? Other supermods are not soooo dark as GWX.

Thank you Rafael, now at least I know it's propably GWX that does it. Narrows down my search quite a bit.

You're welcome, with GWX I must set my brightness to maximum. However, with NYGM, LSH3 or WAC it is slightly lighter at night.

yeh, i just need it a tad lighter, might not even be able to see the flags, but I need to see two feet ahead.

Adjusting monitor settings isnt a viable option for me, i have this monster widescreen and SHIII don't suppot widescreen... having huge grey borders on each side of the interface would simply look too ugly

If you can hardly see a flag (and want to play as realistic possible), I suggest - as said before -, to use Rubini's flag enlighten mod. This mod has especially been made for GWX 3.0.

That says enough in my opinion.

If you have this specific problem only on SH GWX why don't you just "enlighten" you monitor a tad...?.....when playing.

As for "Ula" - it's captain, Sigurd Valvatne, went on to become an admiral and head of the Norwegian navy's sub section. He wrote a book after the war. I have it.

I may have to try that flag enlightenment mod. I've seen ships spotlight their flags. Could be just an artifact of my video card, but the flag is ALWAYS silhouetted in front of the light. I've gone free-view and observed from all angles, and it is still the case.

Part of it has to do with the monitor. I still use an old 19" CRT monitor, and my nights are, if anything, too bright. And I use GWX.
