Sun and Moon phase indicator

Recommended Posts

It would be excellent if sun and moon position were shown when adjusting time and weather. A small graphic would show sun position or moon position relative to horizon. The graphic would also show moon phase depending on the year / date and both moon and sun position relative to horizon would change as time was adjusted.

Sunrise and sunset times would be good tied in with this also.

A great idea. Usually in a brief (for land forces at least) it will  have a moon state of waning or waxing, first light, last light for the sun. Certainly for mission editor some sort of indication what the moon is doing would be very helpful.

Looks like someone's wish got granted : 

 I'm not sure the moon phases are visible but on the video it seems that it's not perfectly circular ?

Illum percentage would help for night planning and pre setup of NVG and other systems.

Only thing missing is the % illumination though. Kinda criticial since NVGs are still blind when illum is 0 % or too low.

Yup very surprised this isn't part of it,  always critical information for mission planning.
