The minimap and the day/night cycle still need more work.

[ferrata_vi]

1. The minimap should have three options: ON / OFF / DRIVING ONLY, or at the very least have an ON/OFF hotkey.

2. The day/night cycle is still pretty bad. It's Night City, for god's sake, and there are 18 hours of daylight in the game. The skybox is fully lit at 3am.

That's interesting. I also found a mod that sort of compresses the cycle that I thought of trying.

Ideally though I'd like them to modify the day night cycle so that it's more immersive (and frankly realistic).

there is also a mod that set the time in real time so every minute is actually a minute in game. by default it get synced to your systems time but can override the time to midnight for example which can give you tons of hours of night lol

It's not simple to configure since the optional Mod Settings mod which lets you do adjust everything in-game still isn't updated, but the Limited HUD mod can be configured via its config.reds file to only show the minimap while driving, and you can also set the minimap to a global hotkey.

I also use Limited HUD to hide a lot of the unnecessary screen elements like the crouch indicator, and to only show the quest markers when using the scanner or zoom and the ammo/weapon stuff only in combat and when a weapon is drawn. It's way more immersive, but there are a few things from 2.0 that still need to added.

The name of the city is after the surname of city founder. (⌐⊙_⊙)

However it's true that there are too much daytime, the night itself finish at 4 am or so, there aren't sun beams but the sky is starting to be more bright.

You do understand that "Night" City is a double entendre? Pondsmith chose the name for a reason. Bade Runner is set almost exclusively at night for a reason.

The setting of this game is supposed to be dark.

I wound up using a mod called "Custom Time Curves". It has a variant that gradually compresses the time cycle as the sun nears its zenith. So basically day gets compressed x8. It works really well.

Says the setting. Says a guy who literally grew up in Los Angeles.

Cities in the contiguous states have long days during the summer. Cities in the contiguous states are not lit up like a bright summer day at 03:00 in the morning.

I agree with the mini map thing. I tried to play without but it's really hard to find my way with all the elevation levels. An on/off toggle would be very nice, so I just have to see it when needed.

[Porkhammer]

My only problem with the minimap is that the direction line things are too thick, so I oftentimes can't quite make out which road they want me to take.

Well, I dunno ...

3:30 AM doesn't look like a bright summer day to me. I mean, I would expect this kind of sky maybe an hour later or 90 mins tops during summer, but I live way further north.
