Description

Because I prefer simulating real flights and flying according to their actual schedules in reality, I often fly nighttime routes. And I really loved the way moonlight used to shine on the aircraft and the ground in the older version—it made the moonlight feel truly present. However, in the current beta version, even though the moon is visible in the sky and the plane can be seen in dark, there is no sense of moonlight illuminating the ground. It’s just pitch black, which feels very unrealistic. So, I genuinely hope the developers can bring back the moonlight effect. Thank you.

（Here are two pictures for comparison.）

It looks great imo. Depends on the time it gets darker or brighter. I am not sure but I think it also has moon phases / it probably looks different on different dates. Pithced dark night is good I think what’s missing is the city / town / village road lights that’s what makes everything like a void abyss.

I don’t know what the majority thinks but I really loved the darker nights.
