Really like this mod guys- thanks. I still find the night skies a little dark for my taste, even with the lightened version. Could you give me a pointer as to which files I should compare from stock to this Mod to brighten the night up even a little further?

thanks

Welcome aboard!

Basically check the files that are in the "Lighter Nights" addon in download file. Using that version I've noticed that moonlit nights are almost glowing and bright, while overcast nights are just about as dark as default. The normal version of the mod is pitch black.

In my opinion, W_clear's standard version has a very realistic amount of light at night for open ocean.

Thanks guys- once I steamed out of the cloud bank I was under, the light levels are fine for me on the lighter Mod.
Thanks again for the help!

Hell, that's when ramming suddenly becomes important...

Here's a few screenshots that I think really show this mod off:

and a bonus one, seagulls!

(To be fair the "blue" images have had some color post-processing done in Photoshop, so originally had the yellow tone of the middle pic. They just popped a bit more toned like that.
