It would be excellent if sun and moon position were shown when adjusting time and weather. A small graphic would show sun position or moon position relative to horizon. The graphic would also show moon phase depending on the year / date and both moon and sun position relative to horizon would change as time was adjusted.

Sunrise and sunset times would be good tied in with this also.

The sunrise/sunset and moonrise/moonset do not match real world almanacs any more like they used to, so setting the time is needless trial and error. Moon phases do appear to match real world data.

At least the moon doesn`t seem to be in correct scale. It looks so small. Was watching it this morning, it was full (exctly full was 2 days ago), but it was huge, compared to the one we have in dcs.

About carrier ops: "The younger pilots are still quite capable of holding their heads forward against the forces. The older ones have been doing this too long and know better; sore necks make for poor sleep.'

A great idea. Usually in a brief (for land forces at least) it will  have a moon state of waning or waxing, first light, last light for the sun. Certainly for mission editor some sort of indication what the moon is doing would be very helpful.

Looks like someone's wish got granted : 

 I'm not sure the moon phases are visible but on the video it seems that it's not perfectly circular ?

Only thing missing is the % illumination though. Kinda criticial since NVGs are still blind when illum is 0 % or too low.

Yup very surprised this isn't part of it,  always critical information for mission planning.
