The solution is simple:
responsible are the skycolors*.dat files located in data\env folder
I replaced them with these from light night mod (Marhkimov's work I guess)
I'm not sure where you could find this mod now but Ducimus used these (or similar) light night files in his mod http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=102761
so if you want only lighter night d/l his mod and use the whole data\env folder

Marhkimov makes two versions of his enviroment mod ,light and dark.

i have light version installed over Rub.144 and i found that is perfect for me ,
also i tweaked a bit gamma correction aand a red/blue bulb in my room.
is nice to know that it works over GWX .

i know that in real world is really hard to see something in the atlantic waters but it´s a game /simulator and i want to see something. also with tdc, map ,and some views your lost eyes adaptation.

well I'm not sure if it's directly the light atmosphere mod I think there was another version simply called light night mod but doesn't matter now

as I said above the light night env files are part of modpack released by Dusimus http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=102761
from readme:
....
DATA/ENV/*.DAT
Ever say to your self something like, "It's dark as crap at night and i cant squat, much less the watch officer!"
This fixes that.
....

so download his mod and use the data\env files...you don't need anything else

I know that for some LCD users could be enough to play a bit with the color/bright/contrast/gama settings but for my dark CRT where black is really black as ... (don't know what's the most black thing) the only way is to use lighter sky textures....
and I'm not cheating at all because when overcast or raining the light from sky/stars/moon is gone so I don't see almost anything... well I'm able to see my sub

In fact everybody can adjust the env colors on his own, use the pack3d and unpack the skycolor*.dat file, edit the extracted *.tga file a repack back... simple

Yes! A red bulb in computer room would help a lot. On those overcast, dark nights, Iturn the light off when dodging traffic. The vis in GWX is similar to the real thing under these conditions.

Nice now this night is more "brighter" stock GWX was a bit to darkish.
