S.T.A.L.K.E.R.---No day/night differences

First of all, greetings to you all, and thanks for any reply.
I was wondering, where is the dark? The day turns into the night only by a clock on your PDA. And what about DARK? There is no visual change when it comes to night. I was wondering (again), for what do I need a flashlight or nightvision (except mission in X18 lab). The night falls, and my visibility is the same as during the day. So, if anyone knows how to make S.T.A.L.K.E.R. go dark, please let me know.One more thing: I am running the game on 1280x1024, everything is ON and HIGH except Full dinamic ligthing.Could it be the reason? --Thanks again for replies, stay  cool...

it's just a keystroke.

And all this time I was playing with the flashlight....TheCrazed420

i knew night vision was just that simple but i find it annoying and never used it flashlight made the game funner. 

noob

the only time i didn't see light or dark is when i turned lighting on to static... then the game plays without weather effects (i played for about 4 hours and didn't see a change in the weather) and no day/night effects.

other than that, the night wasn't too dark outside but I had to use the flashlight to see effectively

You'll need to activate at least "Object Dynamic Lightning" to see a difference. Static is too bright.

I could tell a big difference even with static lighting. Yes, the sky was not totally dark, but I've been in many real locations where the night sky is not so dark.

Hi Friend,

You can get darker nights by turning down the Gamma, I thought it helped alot. See ya around. 

nightvision is bound with your suit which I think is silly because in mp you buy it seperate and many good suits have the crappy green nightvision (purple is better)

 night is a LOT darker when you have dynamic lighting on but I wish it was darker with static lighting.

not dark enough? i saw gameplay trailers and i couldn't see anything till the lightning stroke

i  play it with?

x2 4800

2gb ram

2 7800gts

1240x1080

all high quality no aa no af

and i get 45fps stable 

no problems here, i usually waited out the nights because that green night vision was hard to see, the only night vision i would like was the blue from duty

other then that i could barly see at night, other then what my flashlight was shinning on
