I can agree with you talking about what happens at 09:00 pm. But What do we do with the red glow at 3:00 am? This red glow doesn’t leave in all night. It must be fixed.
Of course, I agree.
Surprisingly this thing don’t get enough votes which leads me to think this will stay with us for a long long time.
Check how you can see the horizon from International Space Station in real life. In the video there´s an example of an approach to sun rising just before the auroras are seen and at the end of the video as well. Maybe it helps to understand that the higher you go the more intense the refraction effect halo on the atmoshpere is noticed as it depends on your relative position to the refractive surface and the light source.
Cheers
Video here shows exactly what I’m talking about. I loaded an Icon A5 at Iqaluit Canada (Latitude N63) and slewed up to FL390.
You’ll see:
- The glow follows the sun around the horizon (shown by moving time of day)
- The glow is visible at midnight
- The glow is visible to the north at midnight
- The glow’s position doesn’t depend on the position of the moon (demonstrated by cycling through the various days when the moon would be in different positions, the glow is in the same spot)
- The glow doesn’t go away even in mid December, when the sun is at its least aggressive in the Northern Hemisphere.

Sorry, but we aren´t talking about “the refraction effect halo on the atmoshpere”. MFS 2020 has it, and it has implemented very sucessfully.
In the picture you posted, we can see the this halo, but not the sun globe, as MFS shows at 2:00 am everyvere. In your pic, the sky’s completely black. Why not in MFS2020?
we can see this annoying sunglobe in video Eefoe posted above. Thanks, @Eefoe, for that.

what blows my mind is that you’re telling not one person at Asobo could see this? Or they saw it and thought oh well who cares? I can’t believe this even made into a released version
Yeah, it’s over a year now, incredible. I just started noticing it because I didn’t fly into the night before, but it’s so darn obvious (and ugly!)…
No its never dark, always the glowing sun in northern hemisphere.
Here the Xplane11 is so much better. There it is dark as it should be.
Yeah, is the only thing Xplane is better than MFS2020: the night sky darkness. But the city ligths and ambient night light in general sucks in Xplane11, so nights in general are better in MFS2020 despite this annoying “night sunglobe”.
The clock is 10 PM (22:00) I am flying from Northern Norway to Svalbard.
This time a year the sun never goes up here. But still I have red glove horizon
Is this topic getting any attention? Naturally, there are more night flights over Europe these days but there is always this annoying red glare at the horizon and one can never fully immerse into a night flight. I flew from EDDF to LTFM, so south and east but the red glare didn’t disappear for two whole hours. I thought they had that condition fixed at some point but I think SU7 brought it back.
Given that there are only so few votes, is there a chance of me having the wrong settings?
Can anyone ‘shed some light’?
Thanks (for laughing).

Still experiencing this issue here too

No, it’s not your settings, my friend. It’s an annoying bug. The sun never sets in all night. We allways had a “sunset interruptus”: it never gets completely dark. Asobo never fixed it. I hope one day they pay attention to it.
If this problem have been “south” more people have votes. Middle Us it is no problem.
Yes I very annoyed at this problem.
Absolutely annoying that this hasn’t been fixed yet.
In Brazil same thing happens.
I’m flying now north of Rio de Janeiro and I see the same sky of some pics on this post.
We need to tell them to fix bc this looks more like an observatory and not a real life night sky.
Likely gets resolved only when the weather overhaul comes along - I don’t think that will be SU8, tbh. If it was closer to the core-sim code it really would be fixed by now?!
It’s annoying for sure but what I do is change the month in the date area until I get a fairly dark night. Just a workaround until it’s all fixed properly (which is still along way off unfortunately)
This is not dependent on month of the year; I’ve even changed it to December in a video I posted above, and the effect is still there.
I am sure this issue will get the necessary priority once some of the more significant lighting issues have been addressed.
Didn’t say it would fix it, just helps somewhat. But sure, just sit around and complain if that’s what you want to do.
