Enhancing the luminosity of artificial illumination in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020’s nocturnal environments addresses a prevalent concern among users seeking increased realism and visibility during nighttime simulations. This commonly involves modifications to configuration files or the utilization of third-party add-ons designed to adjust the intensity and rendering of street lights, building illuminations, and airport beacons.
The desire for improved night lighting stems from its significant impact on immersion and navigational accuracy. Properly rendered and adequately bright cityscapes and airfields contribute to a more compelling and believable virtual world. Historically, limitations in rendering technology constrained the fidelity of night lighting in flight simulators; however, advancements in game engines and graphics processing have allowed for more realistic and customizable implementations.
