ScopeDope Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 (edited) There seems to be a very specific time before sunrise in which the moon gets "turned off". I have a mission I'm creating now and at 05:25 there is almost daylight like, full moon with great visibility. At 05:30 the moon dims down to where you can't see anything, it's pitch black nearly, and it appears that it then begins the sunrise lighting sequence. In that 20ish minute window between, it is now pitch black. I'm thinking something a bit more gradual needs to be worked on. Pictures attached to show difference. Video (at 3x compression) that shows what's happening. https://streamable.com/93pje Edited June 14, 2018 by ScopeDope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustang Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Yeah it's an incredibly annoying bug one that I hope get fixed soon, another bug thread https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=3527612#post3527612 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScopeDope Posted June 14, 2018 Author Share Posted June 14, 2018 Yeah, glad it's not just me then. This definitely deserves to be in a bug thread and not wishlist IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ala12Rv-watermanpc Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 yup, also another issue maybe related is that at late dusk, when all the light over the terrain is gone, the sun is still visible in the horizon instead of hide behind it. I know there is a point at which you cant see the sun at ground level but if you climb you will catch it again but thats the problem, you "catch" the sun but there is no light coming from it.

Grimes Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 It was reported internally shortly after thread was created. The right man in the wrong place makes all the difference in the world.

Torso Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Just a friendly bump since this hasn't been acknowledged yet Just one in a long list of long standing issues that have yet to be acknowledged formally or have the [Reported] tag added to it. Who exactly is in charge at ED of seeing these and acknowledging their existence anyways? Is it Wags himself or someone else? I guess if you never acknowledge the issue you can pretend it just does not exist, thus removing the need to fix it., regardless of the customer impact or their view. Quite the development strategy.

msalama Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 you can pretend it just does not exist Nope. Sections of badly commented and/or programmed legacy code is probably what's holding them back ATM, and will do so until it's all replaced. But ignoring problems deliberately? Nope. The DCS Mi-8MTV2. The best aviational BBW experience you could ever dream of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
