    With so much effort having been put into the development of skies in TSW 3, and having all the correct sunrise/sunset times and phases of the moon etc, one thing that needs to be implemented are the real star constellations to the night skies. Currently, all routes at night feature just random placed stars - and there is certainly way too many present which would be impossible to see that many in real life with the human eye.

    One other night time suggestion I'd like considered is reducing the amount of car traffic at night. I'm often seeing very busy roads, which feels highly unrealistic at the likes of 2-4am etc. Would be nice to see car behavior respond to different times of the day regarding traffic levels - like passengers already.

    With the above, it would add to the realism of TSW even further. Thanks!

    My one issue with this is the amount of routes it'd work on. Are London routes and other major cities are a no go due to light pollution. Really.it only works for rural and backdated routes. Still an excellent suggestion though.

    I lived in rural Gloucestershire as a teen, nearest cluster of streetlights would have been six miles distant
    You can see a heck of a lot of stars on a clear night when it's properly dark (ie that far from a town and in midwinter rather than summer when it doesn't get that dark

    good suggestion and not THAT hard to do if they did a skybox texture in the right position and moved it according to known calculations

    Pretty much what Gran Turismo 7 did. I would also like to see that in TSW.
