Hello,

Yesterday i was cruising the TBM along the coastline of Belgium up to Groningen NL and my observation was that there a so many clouds lit up where there's actually no light underneath. Even way out offshore there was a layer of very bright clouds. The sun had already set and you could clearly see the orange tint of the lights so i assume it was not the last bit of sunlight.

So i might correct the headline they aren't too bright but there are many clouds lit up where they shouldn't in my opinion.

Additional to that i still see plenty of light emitting ground textures which looks a bit weird.

 

Anyone else?

Are you seeing the light on the bottom or top of the clouds?  Right now the moon phase is first quarter (or half lit) which causes a much higher reflectivity than during a new moon.  I think the moonlight is too bright personally, but during a new moon everything, including clouds, are very dark.

I was watching from above. I agree that the moon is quite bright. But the light i saw was more like the one coming from cities.

The lights from the city are going to bounce of the clouds like they do in real life it might be overdone for some people but for me it's spot on.

I don't know about you but the city lights at night are really ugly ORBX on P3D had done a great job! It's flat blurry I find it horrible to fly at night in high altitude IFR

There's nothing wrong with the clouds at night...
