Hey Zuperman, ever thought of introducing a night game?

Maybe Sky of stars, blacked out land except for lit up airports, Radar works so you can get close, but you can't see the other planes unless you catch them in your headlights.

It would introduce a whole new range of tactics.
Low flying would be a whole lot more dangerous. Instruments a lot more important.

(I'm a relative new comer, so sorry if I've missed this on an earlier thread.)

I will hold your hand. :)

It is a good idea but if it is a random access like for all the other games/weathers we will need to close all the drapes/shutters at home to see something on the screen, and there is a real risk that the neighbour's consider us as dangerous asocials lol. :dry:

There was talk about this a looong time ago, zup first intorduced moving shadows, he wanted to make the sun rise and set and have a period of night with a light blueish ground, a lit up town and runway and stars and a moon to light the way at night. His idea w O uld be that every mission starts at daybreak, and (I think, not sure) every 30 mins to an hour a full day cycle would be completed and a night cycle would start.

Not sure why he shut the project down. I was actually looking forward to it.

Took some digging but here is his idea. He sped it up so we could see the changes.

I liked it to be honest

Sounds like he tried to make it toooo complicated.
I know enough about programming to know what he's done is complicated enough.
This game is quite a piece of work as it is!
But I reckon flying under a canopy of stars, looking for sillouettes against them would be cool.

That would be cool. As an Easter egg he could actually put some real constellations in the sky... An maybe add a seal one too... Or a fish.
If you can't shoot 'em, fly around like crazy.
He may fly terribly, but beware his parachute.

Yeah, I hadn't thought of that, could have navigating by the stars to find the other base.
But what does the seal constellation look like? :)

The link takes you to the third page. Click on the start of the topic and there's the video.

Sounds like a cool idea. What's the effect when shadows are turned off in settings? A shorter duration for night then day might be better for the eyes.

I think there should be an option to play day or night in settings....no randomization...if you want to you could turn it on, like shadows...but zup, don't kill yourself trying to make it fancy...just some stars, the moon, and dim lighting like the night in the video.

Ahh, found it thanks.
As Zuperman says, the issue is always keeping it simple enough so that all devices can cope with it, without lags.
I was imagining it to be more like a true night blackout, not dim lighting. I think that would mean it would be mainly just changing the colours of things, much less rendering to deal with than realtime shadows from moving light sources.
And the guys a busy man, if it ain't simple, it wont happen.

Hola amigos quiero recuperar este tema.para seguir pidiendo al zuper una mision con pelea nocturna.ahora que.esta trabajando en crear nuevas misiones,me gustaria que hubiese una en la noche.con luces,en el aeropuerto,luna estrellas jeje o por que no poner 2 bases a lo ancho del plano del juego?asi podriamos repostar sin recorrer todo el camino otra vez
tambien estaria genial si el zuper dotase a los barcos de cañones para defenderse.bueno supongo que lo ira dotando de todo poco a poco
yo solo dejo estas ideas aqui.un saludo

It is simple to make, I already did it last year to test it out as you see on the video:


(check at minute 2:25)

The problem is always that it has to work across all platforms and about the same speed. And that was problematic. A year has gone by, so I may give it a new chance and see how it behaves on current devices.
