7 hours ago7 hr Will it be possible to observe the total solar eclipse on the 12th of this month from MSFS 2024? If so, perhaps, we could also see if the size of the Moon and the Sun is accurate (which has generated some controversy in forums).Greetings
7 hours ago7 hr Why do you have to ask this?Just look up the path of the Eclipse, spawn into the sim in its path and set time and date accordingly and find out yourself.
7 hours ago7 hr I do recall during the 2024 total eclipse people were able to see the effects, though if I recall correctly you don’t get the cool corona effect visually, I think it’s more just the light level dropping and you see a chunk of the sun missing.

Because it's a forum. It's Avsim. It's a place for us all to get together and chat about stuff. John shouldn't have to justify a question, no matter what it is.

After checking the eclipse schedule in my local town (LFMN) I found that the eclipse would happen between 19:30 and 21:15, so I have setup a free flight during that time window, and guess what ? Yes it is visible ! :) Edited 5 hours ago5 hr by Daube Why is it so hard to insert a picture....
