Luminosity decreases even when sun not visible (dawn/night/twilight)

Hello,

 

The overall image brightness is reduced when the view is towards the sun, even when it is not visible during the early or late night. Typically, the user can see the dim red sky at dawn or twilight, and depending on the yaw angle the sky suddenly gets very dark, as well as the cockpit. If he moves as to hide the sun behind parts of the cockpit, it becomes brighter again.

 

Typical example with mission Hercules of the F5, once at 30k ft, and heading 345 to purchase the enemy aircraft.

 

Perhaps a simplified calculus of the sun angles and the horizon could already improve that?

+1 I posted on this a few days ago.

 

It is acting as though looking through the iris of a camera lens. The human eye does not darken down like this. If you angle off a bit you can see into the setting sun for example but this should not be necessary.

 

The results are the same in F2 outside views.
