Visible planet surfaces in map view?

[stout]

I'm looking for a mod that disables lighting in the map view, or maybe has a toggle to turn the lighting on/off. It's tough to plan Kerbal re-entries sometimes when I don't even know where I'm landing on my own planet because that happens to be night at the time. Does such a thing exist?

Try Minimum Ambient Lighting, which raises the minimum light level in flight mode, including the map.  You can drag it up with a slider, then hit “Reset” to go back to default.

There’s also Tracking Station Ambient Light, which works in the Tracking Station, not the map view.

I hope I have understood you correctly.

Personally what I did was launch a command pod from the SPH and walk to the end of the runway and place a flag. You can then set this as your target and always easily spot the KSC.
