The Sun below horizon.

Post by sotiris »

Hi,

As you can check in the attachment, even though soon after sunset, the Sun is still shining below the horizon beneath sea level.
Anybody else noticed something like it ? This shot was taken in the middle of Indian ocean.

Hi sotiris
When I test above ground, there is no problem.
Maybe it's due when the sun is under the sea.
Can you give a position and a time to redo a test?
Regards
Michel

Is that the ocean or a cloud deck?

It was "sky clear" at the time.

Do you see the Sun's rays exactly on the horizon line ? This means the Sun had already set.

One more screenshot about that (see screenshot).

What (exact) version of P3D are you running? World settings? (a screen shot of those would help).

What FL? Can you give the GPS coo-rdinates (screen shot would suffice)

I do frequent dawn/ dusk flights and have never seen anything like this before (but that doesn't mean it's not possible...).

Not sure whether v5.4 is still supported, but the issue is still here.
If you check the screenshot, the Sun is viewed well below horizon (minutes before sunrise-Indian Ocean).
