April 7, 20197 yr Hello, I use V4.4 and have problems with the Moon. Moon Phase is active. In Dusk and Dawn I can see the Moon (or parts of it - of course) But when it's night - nothing. No Moon - only Stars. And of course, I looked to a mooncalender! should be at 4,5% - it's ok in the sim, but only at dusk and dawn. The moon should be the same, in Dusk, Dawn and Night? Any idea? I use Tomatoshade, ENVTEX, Active Sky and Rex Skyforce. Thanks Urmel Top
April 7, 20197 yr Have you tried different times and dates? The moon phases and rise/set times are accurate in the sim. Right now you will see a crescent to the west after sunset. Try setting the date to April 14th at 10:00pm...you should see the moon almost overhead. Eric i9-12900k, RTX 5070ti OC, 32GB ddr5 5600 RAM, 2TB 980 Pro SSD, Titan 240RX AIO, Samsung CRG90 49", Win 11

Thanks Urmel Top If you are using real date and time in the sim, the moon will set in the west shortly after sunset if it is tracking the real phase and position (as of today, 07 April), so you would not see it at night. Wait a few more days and it should be visible in the sim night sky. Jim BarrettLicensed Airframe & Powerplant Mechanic, Avionics, Electrical & Air Data Systems Specialist.

I think I had to learn more about the sky and the moon, with this new feature in P3D. Regards Urmel Edited April 7, 20197 yr by Urmel81

The moon has always has the correct phase simulated in the sky depending on time and date going back to FS9 or before. Avsim Board of Directors | Avsim Forums Moderator

You can turn it off. Something to do with lighting. Seems to be correct, JRBarrett answered it correctly.
