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.

Before I installed mods, the night was not as pitch black, so I merely asked wich file (if possible) I could edit to tune the night a little less black.

I'm sorry I did not specify every single detail in the first place, I just assumed most people wasn't stupid / or gave a rats arse why I wanted to tune it. (no offense ^^)

Is the moon out?

now that you mention it, I havent seen it.

First I suggest to disable your "SH3MoonMod", maybe it is not compatible with GWX 3.0.

Another option you have to adjust light in the game -besides your monitor brightness control- is to use the in game built software antialising. Simply press SHIFT+Avpag or Repag to increase/reduce the AA. A side effect of using it is that the screen gets a lot brighter

I, like others use the Flags Enlighten mod but I edited it to tone down the light level a bit so that it is still hard to see them at night but not impossible like it is with GWX and an LCD monitor. The backlights on LCDs can be a pain in the butt sometimes and I find myself with my nose against the screen often....

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 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.

Yeah the spotlights just compound the problem and I get the same thing you describe. I'm not one to take for granted that a lit ship is a neutral ship and will always investigate any contact. Here's a link to the mod's thread as I don't think it's been posted here yet:
