The Dance of the Sun in XPX...

Featured Replies

For those who do not believe that XPX correctly calculates the Sun position (Azimuth) according to date and geographical location ( me before comming back :-) ), here's some shots at sunrise times from January 2013 to what will be August 2013, allways on day 1 of each month... Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr and Aug.

 

I have to do some further testing, but I also found that the lighting near Sunset / Sunrise times is now OK, as opposed to how I found it in previous versions, or maybe I was doing something wrong with the time(clock) settings (?)

One detail I found missing was the absence of daylight savings time in the sim.  Sunrise and sunset times using the zulu time reference should be accurate.

You're right!  And that's what failled in my initial evaluation ...
