@Tom: The article in the wiki is outdated. Indeed nighttextures with textranslate are working in GIT since a whole while. If it works without textranslating, like described in the wiki-article, I can't tell. Never tried yet. With textranslate you have to change the UVmap. Means, when you have put night and day textures beside (x-direction) into one texture file, the UVMap has to be reduced in size (in x-direction) exactly the half. You may want to take a look into FGdata/Models/Airport to see how it works. @Emilian: According to Tim Moore, FGFS's graphic specialists it is recommended to have large texture files, instead many smalls.
