cockpit light level, sun level, anything

[derammo]

Does anyone know if we can access any information about the current natural light level (day/night cycle) in an Export context?

 

I would specifically like to tell Helios what the light level is and use that information in rendering the virtual cockpit. I know I could calculate day/night cycle myself based on real world data and geo coordinates. So no, that is not what I want.

 

Putting this out there on the off chance someone knows of something useful we can get in an Export context. I know it won't be accurate, but it would be better than what we have now. Right now, we know if the cockpit is set to night mode, but you could use that switch during the day and of course that shouldn't suddenly show dark panels :)

I think using Ymir of day would be a better way
