August 28, 20178 yr GPS? Ugh...go follow your little magenta lines you magenta loving zombies. Radio based navigation? Pfft...used by a bunch of wimps. Pilotage? Dead reckoning? Please don't make me laugh. REAL pilots use celestial navigation Chris

August 29, 20178 yr That's not an eclipse you're seeing, it's just the moon. X-Plane (like all other flight simulators, except maybe Orbiter) does not model eclipses. "Society has become so fake that the truth actually bothers people".
August 29, 20178 yr Are you sure, it faded in and out a number of times. Jude BradleyBeech Baron: Uh, Tower, verify you want me to taxi in front of the 747?ATC: Yeah, it's OK. He's not hungry.

I tried in XP11 and the eclipse does not show. "Society has become so fake that the truth actually bothers people".
August 29, 20178 yr Author It doesn't, in XP11.05. Maybe Jude's remarks were regarding XP10 Tried at various locations, although one would perfectly suffice... at the USA along the full eclipse band, and also in Norway ( Bergen ). Nothing even close - not even any hint of Moon, but then, it was supposed to be full, anyway... Sometimes XP is in schedule with reality, but most of the time it isn't, both regarding Moon placement and phase, as well as daylight / twilight...

August 30, 20178 yr I was using XP 11.02, I was getting twilight in and out a couple of times, where it would fade completely dark and back to daylight about 5 or 6 times, I was flying from ENGM to ENBR - luckily daylight arrived again just on approach :) Jude BradleyBeech Baron: Uh, Tower, verify you want me to taxi in front of the 747?ATC: Yeah, it's OK.
