All of my stock aircraft are available, whereas only some of the modded ones are.

I like this idea also, I think I posted about this exact idea elsewhere years ago. I've been playing with piggyback programs (like Dogfight, which I've been continuously tinkering with) that detect whether the name of the SCN file contains the word "night", and if so, automatically switch the time of day accordingly.

But to get the sky to darken with altitude... the only way I can see forward (especially considering also the so-so reception given to the latest release of YSflight) is to start writing a ground-up open-source program that will take all our planes and sceneries. Then we could do anything we wanted! Power to the modders!

1) Thanks for the necro, WaitingFaster (Who approved the post???)

2) Breeki, can I please ask what localistion your windows install is? Seems this is a problem involving how addon names are processed. OYS Isn't too good at using anything but en-au (or en-us)

Also I edited the thread title to be slightly more search friendly...
I am an accountant working full-time (and some). I'm not here as often as I would like to be. Send a message if you need me. There are a few people in the community who can get in contact with me urgently if you need - don't be afraid to ask. I just don't check here as frequently as I used to. Sorry!
