I find the land (and maybe clouds) too bright at night in FSX. Anyone else?

And is there a solution to this?

 

EDIT:

 

I did turn my brightness on my monitor down to 0 and contrast way down too. But it made no difference, just less light through the screen. I could still see the land was colourful and bright.....which you wouldn't see during the night in real life, or in FS2004.

Somewhere recently, there was a long topic on this. In my case, my older CRT monitor was pitch black, as it should be. My flat screen isn't near as dark.

BIG pet-pieve (If that's how you spell that) of mine.

Just in case you didn't notice, winter nights are way darker than those you get flying in summer

But if you run FS2004 it isn't 'almost day'. But thanks.

 

Thanks Summer for the link.

Hello IAF747,

 

For starters you might want to google "FSX enb series" and just browse to the options. I believe there are about 2 or 3 options to handle the mood/ambient lighting of the FS.

You may even try You Tube, there are a couple of videos that will show you what can be done by tweaking the different parameters.

 

Probably with the right sky and land textures you won't need much of an ENB series and leave your monitor at the settings that are most comfortable to your eyes.
