Night

[PMAviator]

When I drive around the Scottish Highlands, it's like 10pm and it looks like it is 6pm. Explain pls (I'm new, sorry if this sounds dumb)

Take a look here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arctic_Circle
The closer you are to Arctic Circle, the longer you'll see the sun - that's very basic explanation

This is the most stupid feature of all times for ETS2, and it should be optional. My humble opinion.

Even in southern Karlskrona (Sweden) you won't see normal night. Everything is bright. TOO bright.

Create a text file named "env_data.sii" and put it in the ProMods definitions pack, it should look like this:

Code: Select all

SiiNunit
{
env_profile : env.data {

	lamps_on_elevation: 5.0

	day_in_year: 172	//summer solstice
	summer_time: 1		//+1 hour
}
}

Change the value in "day_in_year" to a day not so close to the solstice, "summer_time" is the daylight saving adjustment.
I use "71" and "0" respectively myself, so the game simulates a day in early March without daylight saving time, sunsets around 18:00 and sunrises around 6:00, way less extreme than the default daylength.

I also recommend getting "Improved Weather Reload", someone posted a version that works with ProMods in the SCS forums. It fixes the main issue with the default ETS2 weather, afternoons being too dark and nights being too bright.
