I got some pretty nice missions downloaded for MSFS. But unfortunately they are not good to my eyes since the legs are scheduled to start in early morning when environment and surrounding lights are dark, especially in rural areas.
I’ve been suffering these bittersweet scenarios for months until it occurs to me that I could actually brighten up the view by altering the time of day in an easy way, instead of tampering the original files of the missions. Continue reading

This morning, I accidentally came across this less than a month old SkyElite for MSFS by 4FlightSims while searching on the Internet. It immediately captured my eyesight with its glass-cockpit-style appearance as well as its feature-rich EFIS PFD and moving map interfaces.
