UI Dimming for night missions?

[Voyager]

Just did a night flight in VR, and discovered that because it is very dim, ones eyes dark adapt, right up until the point that you open the map or finish the mission. That's about like someone turning on all the lights in the room in the middle of the night.

 

I'm wondering if there could be some way to universally dim the UI elements when one is in a night mission, or add some sort of control knob for the UI brightness, so one can give oneself some time to adjust after the mission?

YES!  Agree!

I don't want this suggestion to get lost in the shuffle.

I know for a fact that when  navigating by map at night, a red light or at least a very dim

white light is used for map reading to keep night vision  acute to better identify landmarks.

Map is just too bright to look at during night missions. Hope Dev's can work this in near future.

I know the "O"map used to change to night mode. Haven't flown night missions in a long time but it should still be a feature??

 

Are you talking about the Esc menu? Or the technochat?

The "O" map has never changed to a night mode.

Does the M map change? Like I said above, it's been a long time since ive flown night, but i know there is (was?) a map that switches to night mode, that i am sure.

Yeah, it's the M map that dims. Would be really nice if that feature was also applied to the O map.

just noticed that  you can  make the big full screen map transparent.

doing this dims the brightness as much as you want.

try it.
