Things seem a little more realistic, while over cities now. Makes night time flying a little more enjoyable, think so?

I'm not exactly sure, but I'm willing to guess that's from here: http://simflight.com/fsw/FSWFs2k2GNights.html

The screenshot there looks pretty similar to what he has. I haven't tried out the new scenery just yet, but heck, that really looks nice.

[lonewulph]

Yes, sorry, it's:

whini201.zip
whini202.zip

2002 scenery lib, on this site.
I was really, really hesitant about installing them. But I gave it a shot and I'm really happy with them. This pics don't do them justice, but they definately look alot better. A variety of colors and brightness now in these. Check 'em out!



Best,

I just dl'd the latest White Night replacement to see if it's any better than default, but I haven't gotten a chance to do any night flying since then.

It does look very nice, except the first pic. It's pretty eerie how the ground is lit but the plane is in the dark.

[lonewulph]

Yes, that would be my only gripe for the sim's use of handling lighting at night.
The aircraft model does not look any brighter, while in a well lit environment, even chrome aircraft have no reflective capabilities. The model is simply textured to look only one way no matter what light hits it.
Would that be a nice fix!
Cheers!

By the way, is that the SimFlyer's scenery for KATL?
