Please fix the broken lighting during Day/Night transition

[twistking]

There surely is some poetic beauty in the night being the darkest before sunrise, but it would still be nice if that "bug" could get adressed eventually.

This bug (or engine limitation) exists for ages now: About an hour before sunrise and about an hour after sunset, the moon does not contribute neither to terrain lighting, nor to object lighting. It does however contribute to cloud lighting.
The effect is that both the landscape and vehicles are pitch black during that time, even if a full moon is up. It looks bad, it is obviously unrealistic and it limits moonlit night flying without NODs to only a specific timeslot.
The new clouds make the issue even more obvious, since the clouds are correctly lit and therefore only emphasize the strange and terrifying blackness of the incorrectly shaded world laying beneath...

ED, please fix!

Ps: For those interested: The root cause seems to be, that there can only be one shadow casting environment lights in the scene. So when the first sunlight hits the gameworld at its highest point, the moon immediately shuts off as a light source, even though it might still take over an hour until the sunlight actually hits gameplay relevant areas of the world. The proper solution would be to actually toggle light sources not per scene, but per camera position, so a high flying aircraft would get shadow casting sunlight but no moonlight, while a lower flying aircraft would get shadow casting moonlight, but no sunlight.
Another simpler possible solution would be to substitute the shadow casting moonlight with simple ambient light the moment the moon "shuts off". This way you would still loose shadows from moonlight, but at least the scene would retain a certain light level.
Yet another solution would be to calculate the switch time at a more reasonable altitude, meaning super high flying aircraft/missiles would see the sun at the horizon, but would not catch shadow casting light from the sun (but they could still be lit with ambient light as substitute for sunlight). The benefit would be that the akward transition period would be shorter for terrain and lower flying aircraft with the downside that both high flyers and low flyers would now be affected.
