Hello,
I have a couple ideas, in my humble opinion.
In most parts of the world where the sun is high in the sky at noon, the light washes the color into pale tones. This is real life. :wink: The noon sun in desert regions and those near the equator can be almost blinding in brightness. Good photographers know that the prettiest light is in the morning and evening.
I have felt that IL-2 actually does fairly well at rendering this.
The IL-2 Hardware Setup of the Main Menu has the feature to change the land lighting of the sim. I have changed it for certain maps many times. You can change this without restarting IL-2...
IL-2 Land Lighting click path
Main Menu/ Hardware Setup/ Video Options/ Picture Quality/ Custom/ Landscape Lighting
I have always liked the idea of more customization of individual maps according to personal preferences, though things take time to develop. May be that the modders are working on better control of things like this with maps right now.
