Have you flown FSX at DAWN?

Do yourself a favor, and if you haven't yet flown out of Juliana at about 6:05 -6:10AM, give it a try. Set your clock to around this time when the sun is just coming up in front of you, and check out the water, the sky, and the terrain just coming to life below.What a great experience! I used the one-man kite Glider to go low and slow, and enjoyed every moment.Usually I fly during the daylight hours so that I can see everything, but I was really missing so much by not giving DAWN a chance.Hurry up FSX, I'm ready!

Dawn and Dusk also look great with FS9... just so you know ;)

Jigsaw,<>Not with stars visible with the sun above the horizon it doesn't! :-hmmmThat 'feature' has always bugged me and I hope it's fixed in FSX. The brighest star shouldn't be visible until well after sunset.It reminds me of the moon's first appearance in FS98. The clouds passed behind it! :-lolCheers,

Oh, I know those times (morning and evening) look great in FS9, and I have Active Sky, and just about every other addon. My thread question was simply said to "whett the appetite" for the future! I'm excited about the upcoming product. I also believe that as FSX matures, it will make FS9 look like FS 2000 and before. C'est le vie....and on with progress. The water in FSX looks extremely inviting and the shadows are incredible. We're all in for a treat. Stan

It's certainly not fixed in the demo and it's probably quite a low priority 'feature'.... Best regards, Chris AutoStarX http://www.kline.demon.co.uk/AutoStarX.zip

I'd rather look at sunset, the dawn is cold and depressing by comparison. I like the gold and blue colours of the late afternoon, but you only see pink and even green in the dawn.Anyhow, bring on the end of October!Mike.http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/156295.jpg

Oh great! ;( "As real as it gets"? Sorry chaps, not until that feature is fixed.

You can get it! You just need to sign up with fileplanet.com and d/l the beta. It'll cost you a few bucks, but it is fun to play around with!http://www.dreamfleet2000.com/gfx/images/F...s/Goodale01.jpg

As others have noted much the same as FS9 with FE/ASV. One odd thing with FSX at sunset (at least in the demo) is that you can get brilliant and quite unreal moonlight water reflections at sunset. When I first noticed this I thought it was the sun and became quite confused as I was looking east not west where the sun normally sets in my experience.Bruceb
