Night sky brightness with Envtex and P3Dv5.3

Everything is its latest version for reference.

I also posted this on the TOGA Projects forum, but from the looks of their forums, its all gibberish and spam replying to posts (one person trying to sell a house in France? ) I am hoping this forum can help me resolve the issue I am having with the night sky brightness using Envtex (just got it yesterday as a result of one of my other posts here). The sky in the middle of the night looks too bright. Here is the post I made to TOGA forums:

I just installed Envtex and now my night sky looks like the sun is constantly in late stage setting or early stage rising. Here is a screenshot over the Red Sea at 04:00 (it is not brighter or darker in any camera pan direction, so not the moon which is also not visible at this time): https://prnt.sc/wi8KEhDn6A03

I tried with dynamic 24-hour random, and custom "dark" for the Envtex night sky settings and I see no difference. Does installing changes while in flight actually take effect immediately or does it require a restart?

I can provide whatever settings are needed to help isolate and fix the problem. I don't want to list them all here since there are so many between Envshade, Envtex, and P3D lighting settings. For reference, sunrise today (29 June 2022) in Jeddah (flight is from OEJN to DTTA) is 05:44, so I am still an hour and a half away from sunrise - the sky should not look this bright already. It was the same when flying DTTA to OEJN arriving in OEJN at 02:00.

From that screenshot you posted it seems you are using EA? if yes then the envtex/envshade settings does not have any effect to the sky.

Yes, I have EA on. However, prior to installing Envtex, the night sky did not look like this, so clearly it must have some effect. EA alone does not cause this or I would have seen it already.
