Hmm...I just fired it up in DOSBox to check, and the training section starts with a *daytime* screenshot of something looking like what you describe. Possibly there is night-time training too, I don't recall.

I put some screenshots up at moby from the training part of TFX.
Hangar shot is here:

Wow, that's a really nice looking flight sim

I wonder why I haven't heard about it before. Has there been a playable demo or something?

Have the game, can't say I really really liked it, was in fact almost outdated when it was released by Falcon 4 and other early windows flightsims.
By the time it was released dosgames were hitting their maximum possibilities regarding graphics (and certainly resolution!!!), also TFX lacked the "fun" factor of a Falcon 3 or even Apache Longbow to name only two.

Ah well, IMO an average flightsim, not bad and not good ....

A demo ....? No idea, and google isn't very helpful *sigh*

There might have been a TFX demo on some of DiD/Oceans other CD:s, since on this one there is a demo of their 'Inferno'. I'm unsure if it's playable or just automated - I didn't try to get it going, as I have the full game.

edit: I checked it out, and no, it's not playable, only a non-interactive demo of some pre-rendered movies with music showing some intro sequences.

Yup, I also found some non-interactive stuff only.

Well anyway, it's just that the game sorta looks like MIcroProse's F-117A, which I love 'cause it's an updated F-19 (256 colours

). I can't say I really like more modern graphics, although the steps towards realism are certainly very impressive. They just don't look the same, nothing nostalgic about 'em

There is a screenshot from F-19 Stealth Fighter on the Atari platform that might fit the night scene somewhat. Maybe this is what you are after?
