i have played CloD since it was first introduced , then modded to be more playable & now of course BLITZ, but one aspect has always disappointed me and that is the lighting in night missions which I believe was first changed when the modders took over the original sim sometime ago. It simply is the least attractive atmospheric feature of an otherwise beautiful game esp compared to ( sorry to bring it up in the CloDBlitz forum,but,) Great Battles.
Here is a visual comparison.He-111s over a populated area with clouds at 2300,not perfect but as good as I could do quickly:
First CloD, then Great Battles:

( The difference isovious: CloD looks almost as if it is a photo negative, which is an old trick for making day for night. The GB shots are far more believable & a beautiful environment to "fly' & fight in....so simply can this be changed in the long anticipated v 5.0? It would make night flight in Northern Europe & North Africa much more attractive propositions,,,)
