Now at 288.
Just need another 66 votes to make it into 48th place on the lifetime wishlist and also onto the weekly MSFS Development Update graphic.

At least one of the Community Managers could acknowledge having digested this and informed the devs. Only Speed1994 as a Forum Manager provided a positive feedback, but (I think) forum managers as volunteers don't have direct contacts to the devs.

Kind regards, Michael

Thank you. This doesn't guarantee anything (obvisouly) but is the best we could achieve at this point.

Kind regards, Michael

I may have to give XP12 a try what with the atmospherics

about the only reason I sometimes fire up XP12, but it has too many other issues like horrible clouds. Biology's approach would be a real godsend for MSFS/2024 and would make the other sim finally obsolete for me.

voted, now 353

It's just funny how the truth comes out. I used to think MSFS was fine the way it depicted things until I decided to test sunsets in various conditions and in all sorts of locations. Amazing golden hour every time.... Clearly something was off. So certain people who use a certain sim have been talking this whole time like this was down to the brilliance of the devs of their sim and it haing a superior lighting model and so on. Turns out they were just alerted by @Biology and chose to take his advice....

Well, I do hope Asobo are smart enough to do the same.

Well would you look at that lol today just happens to have one of those MSFS sunsets where I live in the Caribbean. The conditions were right for it.

Yup, purple sunsets are certainly a thing IRL. It's just that they require specific conditions such as the sunlight constantly bouncing between clouds around the ozone layer or being interrupted by clouds at a long distance even before reaching the surrounding area. But most of the time blue sunsets dominate as the required conditions for a purple sunset are somewhat rare. Either case the MSFS and other simulators having purple sunsets was partly just a coincidence rather than an intentional art choice.

Yeah they happen from time to time over here and mostly at the end of rainy days like the one we had today. When it happens, people take notice and we share photos online. Definitely not a common occurrence lol

 

BTW, an admin on the biggest FB group finally approved my post. Expect a big wave of votes

Not like that here on planet Earth 🙃

So do 371 others!

As someone pointed out in the MSFS thread, it seems to be such low-hanging fruit for Asobo.
@Biology's recommendations create a more realistic environment, which is what we are all hoping for.

HI!

Great request to everyone, publicize the topic wherever possible and persuade everyone to vote ... there are still few votes ... after all, there are a lot of us who want this simulator to finally look real as it can

Brds to all

Once again guys (and pls take the advice this time) don't take the bait...

What bait are you seeing (this time)?

[Virtpilot 152]

Does anybody knows can this be done by Asobo/MS "under the hood", that is us not knowing it? Or does this require some kind of sim update? Just general curiosity...

Looks like one of the mods hid the post, which is good.
