There are three for the canopy reflections. I moved them to the FA-18 root folder and all is clear. Especially at night. Something can probably be done to tone them down, but for a quick fix move them - they are only in the texture folder.FA_18_05_C.ddsFA_18_05_C_Specular.ddsFA_18_05_NIGHT_C.ddsAlso some one else found the HUD which is really dark is this file...FA_18_Hud_Glass.ddsHowever, the HUD disappears without this (but the display still works) so I used DXTBMP and made it a real light green which looks good for me.Phill

find the HUD_Glass file and add a .bak on the end. (It's in the FA-18/Texture folder)Make sure you're not running the F18 when you do this. Then switch back to the F18You'll notice the green weird circular background is gone...but the HUD text is still there....
