    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.

I am not happy at all with the looks of the sun and the moon in simulator. There are some FSX add ons to replace their textures. Are they any better and can you use them in P3D? And what would be the best way to have more realistic moon and sun above us in P3D world?
 
P3D Sun and Moon sizes are 2x too small. You must change these or the sun and moon will look tiny. No matter the textures used. I have mine set to this:

[general]
SunSize=4144
MoonSize=4144
SunTexture="sun.bmp"
LensFlareCount="10"
RenderCorona="1"
RenderGlow="1"
RenderMoonCorona="1"

in "suneffect.cfg" main P3D folder.
 
There is a suneffect.cfg in Prepard3d-folder and another one at the ProgramData-folder. Why? Do they both effect on sim?
 
Sorry, found it:

[general]
SunSize=900
MoonSize=6072
SunTexture="sun.bmp"
LensFlareCount="10"
RenderCorona="1"
RenderGlow="1"
RenderMoonCorona="1"

I seem to have a bigger moon than you do.
