Anyway, maybe stick to saying 'champion!' next time, like other old codgers do, so that people don't take you out of context! Regarding the eclipses. I have seen a few in the sim now, but it's quite difficult to see a full eclipse for some reason. It only seems to do the partial, even when it should be full. Funny how they program this in but then the moon orientation doesn't change with latitude. Looks the same way up in the UK as it does in Australia apparently.

October 27, 20223 yr If you are going to simulate solar and lunar eclipses in a flight simulator, then you need to do it properly. Just slapping an image of a partially eclipsed Sun on the screen for any location on Earth simply because that date is logged as a solar eclipse date is a bit silly.

Welp, as far as I know there's no other SIM out there besides Outerra ( which depicts both solar and lunar eclipses) that bothers to do even that much.... (Space engine does as well) Meanwhile, seems subject has come up before, with no movement, so I doubt it's a issue that's on asobos radar.

Just slapping an image of a partially eclipsed Sun on the screen for any location on Earth simply because that date is logged as a solar eclipse date is a bit silly. They didn't just 'slap' and image up, you can watch the movement happen, the moon is a moving (2D) object in the sky. HiFlyer posted a video last page of time lapse of a total eclipse in MSFS. But yes having it show up everywhere is an issue, and their movement calculations are off. Edited October 27, 20223 yr by Tuskin38

I have noticed that the sky at night has improved over x-plane 11 in 12 as well. one can now see constellations and differences in star magnitudes are better defined. I would like to see (in both sims) 1. the big planets at the right place at the right time 2. Andromeda Nebula should be visible to the naked eye, especially with these superb sky conditions showing the milky way (overdone) 3. Full moon should make milky way invisible 4. If I go back in time 7000 years i should not see Polaris exactly pointing North LOL I'm joking of course although points 1 and 3 would be very welcome immersion factors.
