Pseudo Night Vision in SC

[Black Sunder]

Do you hate the night side of moons/asteriod belts? Do you find it hard to see where you're going in these dark times? Well fear not fellow TEST members I have a solution for you! Its called cheating!. Ok, not really. Well maybe. Simply set your graphics card Brightness, Contrast and Gamma to new levels and BOOM, instant night vision capability as if you actually had the goggles yourself ingame.

My settings:

And when you're done, just select the "Other Applications Control Color Settings" radio button and everything goes back to normal. When you need night vision for SC again, choose "Use Nvidia Settings".

Now you can go to the drug lab on Yela at night in confidence.

FWIW, adjusting gamma is not cheating. nor is adjusting brightness and contrast.
But. In space, where the sun don't shine it's dark. How dark? REALLY dark.

What I don't get, is why we use an ASL altimeter instead of proximity radar. Makes 0 sense to me.

I actually have a macro key on my keyboard set for that, pretty sweet.

we need to have both a barometric altimeter and a radar altimeter, primarily utilizing the radar version to avoid mountains and such.

Not having FLIR (forward looking infrared) in our ships is absurd. It's 1980s tech.

I avoid the dark side of all moons by simply not playing! It's brilliant. Hehe, brilliant.:sunny::sun_with_face:

Edit: also, no one has posted on the forums in the last 2 hours? What gives?

Can't really speak for anyone else but fro me... Beer. Chicks. No, I mean little chickens. More beer. Sister-in-law story-about-niece. Made niece feel better. Then played SC for a bit.

I have a quick button on my monitor change from gaming color mode (which is very sharp and give true black) to FullHD+ colors (smother movie colors)
It enhance the brightness of black to very dark greyish so it's like instant night vision ha ha ha...
Very handy button on darker places in SC since it is a instant change on the fly :smile:
:beer: :beer: :beers:
