Hey guys, for some reason whenever the time of day in FSX is set to night, the color depth of the sim goes down to what appears to be 16 bit. Quite annoying. It goes away during daylight hours.

Any suggestions on how to fix it? (Other than not flying at night).

Sure Michael



I took one in the default CRJ-700 cockpit, because it's quite pronounced there. But it's like that with everything. Even the landing lights. It's as if there's no blending going on at all at night.

Ahh...I see what you mean. Are you using any addon software that changes the textures around like GEX, UTX, ActiveSky, etc?

ok, silly question, your graphics are indeed set to 32 bit?

Yup that's the first thing I checked - making sure it was in 32 bit. I AM however using REX2, which I've used in previous FSX installations without this happening.
