Night stars??

[Guest]

Has anyone else notice that the Devs have made an effort in the night time stars?? I can regularly see Orion's Belt, The Plough, Canis Minor, Pegasus and Vela.

So well done !!

[Mootie]

I look at the stars, and I appreciate the stars. I don't know anything about constellations however.

[Guest]

It's very very easy.. if you can see Orions belt you can see 50% of them.

They just recently updated the night sky, which included adding realistic constellations and updating the Moon model.

Do they have the lunar cycles in as well? Every time I look up all I see is a full moon, but I could be wrong.

[Ellie]

I appreciate the new moon and stars. Makes the night a lot more beautiful then it was before

[Iceinfly]

I recently played a character who majored in astronomy in college. I would spend hours with other people talking about the constellations. It was awesome.

Oh yeah, I played a few days in a row, and since you can go through several days in game in an afternoon you could definetly see the change in the moon.

[Wolfe]

Yeah, its nice on a clear night to just sit by a fire and look up at the stars. Pretty relaxing.

[Jannik]

yes that's very cool

I only wish they would make an animation where you could lay on your back.

The "SitDownRelax" animation, is close.

I know, that's probably the best I'me going to get.

If I was bothered enough to learn and know about star constellations I would agree but I have no fucking clue But yeah, they're nice I guess.

[Guest]

They're nice.

[Foxi]

I remember hearing them talk about this before, I just wasn't sure if they ever did it. But hearing from what you guys are saying they made it happen. I guess I need to pay a bit more attention.

[Guest]

the moment when you realize that the stars in the sky are JPEGs. tbh that's what they look like to me, if they ain't I don't know how I'm not getting any frame drops

I heard the Dev team bought a $2m high power telescope to really get pinpoint realism and accuracy on this minor feature.

Do you have a link ?

Sounds like its not true and just some rumour.

But I love the dark sky in DayZ!

Often I walk at night times and just look up and enjoy.

[Slash]

I like sitting against a tree and watch the night sky. So yeah I really appreciate the update

I also heard this my fled.

[Kanen]

Yeah I love how they put the time and effort into making it look nice. Shows they actually put some minor details into the game and not just throw everything into it.

[Guest]

Would anyone like a night time class on the constellations on a clear night on s2 or s3 ??

[Flapjack]

That certainly sounds intriguing, we at Alcyone would be happy to consider hosting you as a guest Professor for it.

Honestly, the sky is quite dissapointing. There's no lights in Chernarus, which means no light pollution. There's next to no traffic, which means little air pollution. We should be able to see more than just circular dots in the sky... There's so much potential.
