• There seems to be an up tick in Political commentary in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site we know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religiours commentary out of the fourms.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politicion will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment amoung members. It is a poison to the community. We apprciate compliance with the rules.

Has anyone noticed that in #1521 the sun appears below the horizon?

Correct. Reflections are sometimes a little odd. Reflected objects are limited to what's on-screen, so if you're sitting in the back of the TBM and looking forward, items reflected in the upper black strip will come and go depending on the view angle. I believe it's called "screen space" reflections.

It is in fact the reflection of the sun ball which is itself hidden behind the cloud layer just above the horizon.
Having taken many photographs and witnessed thousands of sunsets at the So Cal shoreline just a few blocks from home I have seen this many times.
I think with the camera angle in this shot being at the same elevation as the aircraft this effect is just right. It does appear that the sun itself is below the horizon but that is
exactly correct given a reflection that is as bright as the object itself.
MSFS, ASOBO, or whichever entity is most responsible for capturing the Earth this way have done a terrific job of it.
 
Tried to do a flight from Duxford to Humberside yesterday, but as I was getting close to Humberside I had to divert to Strubby as the weather was closing in around me quite fast. By the time I was taxiing in the rain was just beginning.
