Im sory I thought it was a flight sim.

I sure some code could be put in, that would divert the moon if it gets too close to the sun in the sim.  There is quite a difference between two large objects in our solar system and space debris.

Next thing they will be asking for is meteor showers and falling sattelites.

That would surely make those dull night flights more interesting.

IIRC you can't select year in XP12 yet?

It actually uses the year set in the O.S., so it actually has a perpetual calendar, albeit not very practical to use. They should just add an option to set the year inside X-Plane UI, instead of relying on the year set in the O.S..

Yes, and for me Perpetual as in.. settable to any date, past or future ...

A bit like the argument regarding the dimension of the Sun and Moon... Sometimes the choose a weird way of doing things...
