Too dark?

Is this shot too dark on your screen?

After 5-10 minutes my night vision kicks in and it looks like a Tucano or Goshawk type, taxiing towards the camera.  The runway lights are a lot more visible than the blue taxiway lights.  Yes, it's too dark  :).

yes.  Taxi light is darker than rwy lighting, Bridge lights are a bit dark.   .... at first thought I was thinking the carrier might be running under "silent" operations... but then again how does a carrier run "silent"??? lol

Thanks very much, I guess that my screen is just very bright compared to everyone elses. :( Good thing that I didn't post a similarly dark one as my January Screenshot Entry!

to me:

rwy = whiteish
Red nav = orange
green nav = greyish .. a little darker than the rwy lighting
white light under bridge (same exact same as green nav light)
taxi and anticollision beacon = orange
RED night light bridge lighting

default ground night lighting for Land Scenery



(no green lights on my end)
