What planet are we on?

Literally unplayable

Yes there are indeed some incorrect stuffs there.
And if you freeze the sim then accelerate x64, you will see that some stars are moving in one direction, some other in another direction.
… but talking about those details, have you notices that the moon and about 2 times bigger than it should be? … And the sun disc is about 3.5 times bigger than it should be.
IRL, average apparent size of the moon and the sun is about 10mrad (the size of the FPM circle).
There are indeed a lot of room for enhancement here … but it is a low priority. Before fixing this, it would be good to have a different night level depending on if we have a moon or not, then, different night level depending on present cloud/weather … and before this, having a more convincing NVG rendering, and with this, modeling the NVGs weigh on pilot’s head making impossible to use them under high G load … etc …
This used to work correctly in F4 and, as I recall, F4AF.
I don’t think so. Can you prove it? Cause AFAIK, nothing has been changed there.

Could be true, Dee-Jay.
IIRC in original F4 we had even moonphases, which got “lost” somehow.
Not sure if star movement has changed since.AFAIK old code is still there, but (partially) inactive?
Cheers, :yo:

If this is true and present in BMS code … we have to find it and fix this.

low priority I guess.
Might be data only … (?) … If present and used to work in the past, shouldn’t be a big deal to fix it (?)

Other than running the old programs again, no I can’t prove that the stars and moon were correct in F4 other than that I am an amatuer astronomer and the stars are always something I look at at night and I would always orient myself with them. I did fly the LDS 767 a couple of years back and that was accurate (FSx) but I am sure it was in Falcon, in fact I remember the first time I was able to recognize the stars (Big Dipper of course) and I do believe that was Falcon… but hey… I am retired and mem doesn’t work as well any more. It is not an important issue, just eye candy, but for anyone familiar eith the sky it does tend to take away from the “realism” and immersive experience. Definitely not a game stopper and not the most important thing needing done but if it could be fixed that would be great.

…thank you. I will try to check it myself on my F4AF install.

I seem to remember in the FF days that “some” constellations were discernible. Can’t remember if the moon phase has always been jacked… But yeah, a waxing gibbous moon at sunrise is something to behold

The moon is a balloon suspended 5 miles above the flat earth, I watched a video on youtube about it so it must be true!
:rolleyes:
