Night skies too bright?

Recommended Posts

And you know what's crazy? I flew 2 consecutive days at night irl, and both of them had different light conditions for the same hour.

Yeah, but i took them at the same hour, on different days. Just wanted to show how sky light changes each day, and is changes with dozens of variables.

The night sky with the moon out is far too bright in this simulator. I have never seen skies that bright even with full moon in the hundreds of night flight hours IRL. You should be able to make out clouds but thats about it. Sky should still be dark.
Ive been searching for a way to reduce the moonlight value somehow but I have no located the file or CFG for this. Anyone have any clue?

Night skies in games are always too bright, as they have to compensate for things like users not playing in a dark room, or their monitors contrast levels not being optimal. Turning down overall brightness usually fixes this, but they might mess up your daytime lighting. I play on an OLED headset, night skies can be enjoyed close to perfection this way.
