Advice needed re too-dark nights

bert8for3 · 03-27-15, 05:01 PM

I want to get back into this, but svp could use some advice re too-dark nights. I'm totally out of touch with the available mods esp the Megamods. When I was last playing, I had ver 1 or 2 of Open Horizons and the nights were totally black on my pc. Questions:
Is there a mod that will just adjust night darkness levels?
Do the current megamods have very dark nights?
Tx much.

I'm using "The Wolves of Steel v1.3" megamod. I find the nights to have a long transition of "twilight" with good visibility (depending on the current weather conditions), only getting truly dark for the last few hours.

I find personally that you begin to look forward to that short period of darkness, especially when operating in coastal waters that have enemy aircover.

Gives you a bit of relief to be able to reposition on the surface, recharge batteries and just go about your business without being shot at, bombed and generally harassed by those damned planes!!

Check my tutorial Post #35 and mod list number 5.

The mods in yellow all help to reduce the darkness.

You can also give bonus points to your Sound Guy where you will find 5 levels to reduce the darkness penalty.
