Full moon / New moon will there be a difference?

[Guest GA Flyer]

Could night sky and earth textures be tied in to the moon phase so the user gets a few different levels of darkness based on the moon? Maybe three:Black or complete dark for a new moon.A fair amount of light for a full moon.Something in between for the rest of the time. Jack

Hmmm, I think we do light the scene with moonlight but maybe not too precisely. Jason?

It's not very accurate night lighting, though. The light only reflects off of the water, but it doesn't add that hint of "daylight" blueish-ness you see during a full moon, nor does it actually light the landscape like it should.

Shortly after FS9 was released an addon file came out (I think it was FSNight?) which made the night as if it was a a new moon night and complete darkness.I installed it and use it to this day but cant remember which files it changed. I enjoy the effect but wish I could have it only during new moons phases without switching out the files.I know that FS does do phases but I don't believe (correct me if I'm wrong) that the sky and land light up from the glow of the moon any differently during any of the phases.I would just like to see the sky and land light up in a way from the moon like how the sun in the sim does during a sunrise and when there is no moon then its complete darkness.Jack
