Unrealistic night lighting

Here this is over brussels… How is it possible in real life to have such a view with green colors and so much illuminated places? The reality, is that almost everything is black, with some small dots representing lights. It is impossible to see colors, about trees or roofs… This is unrealistic. It is the same with airports. You should not see “blue” taxiway from sky… It is difficult to see airport runways, even when they are illuminated. And clearly, we should never see blue taxiway from sky… Night lighting is completely wrong… everything should be very dark with just small lights spots. Look at youtube… Don’t expect to do VFR at night!

I don’t hate the night lighting in MFS. It’s much better than EX-Plane’s little orange dots all over the place. It’s not that far off from reality in my opine.

And yeah, the old sepia masks kinda looked like the first part of The Wizard of Oz, when Dorothy is in Kansas, before the twister takes her to the land of Oz. LOL.
