Hi folks, like title said, is it ?

I somewhat acheived this purely hazardly (and i was smart enought to not take note... lol), i ever since tried to acheived back with no success, so is it a sun flare bug or the actual moon ?

it doesn't properly block the sun shine in case anyone wants to try, but the solar and lunar and stellar calendars are all usable for almanacs and accurate at least in the years I tried. sun rises and sets are all within minutes. Moon rises and sets and a bit messed up by the lighting modelling though.

In DCS the Moon and the Sun are on the same plane so there is an eclipse on every New Moon.

oh, i'll have a look, i've tried with an eclipse schedule and it didnot work but i think it was my fault i might not have been in the proper bearing / angle to see it.

What? No. They go their own paths on the sky and meet only on eclipses.

Here's my solar eclipse track from Nevada map.

You need to turn off lens effects and set wide fov to see it, otherwise the sun blinds you.

I commented that because I tested it who knows how long ago and the Moon would obscure the Sun every New Moon. I see that's no longer case.
