Screen too dark

Postby Frade » Thu Jun 17, 2004 3:54 pm

Does anyone else have the problem of their screen being so dark that you feel like you're flying into a black hole when you're flying low or diving?  
Most of the time it looks like that period just after sunset when a little bit of light remains.
Is there a way to lighten this up or tweak it?
Thanks

Hi Frade. You might like to try tweaking your Direct3D display settings. Right-click on the desktop & select Properties. Then click the Advanced button. The options will depend on your system & video card if you have one. Try increasing the Gamma settings for the Direct3D, not the desktop. You will have to experiment to get it as you want it. Also run CFS in Full Screen mode. Try hitting Alt + Enter.

Frade, also try fiddling with your screen to lighten it up. There should be a menu button on your screen somewhere. Press it, the scroll to the pciture of the sun. Then increase that value ;)
