In 2001 David Megginson had submitted bug no 433286 "Sun lights plane at night". to http://sourceforge.net/projects/flightgear/. His summary was:
Sun lights plane at night. After the sun disappears below the line of sight, it continues to light the plane throughout the night; the part of the plane facing the sun (below the ground) always glows. The fix is to create non-directional ambient light at night, possibly together with a weak light source for the moon. Recently I found similar conditions, when the sun is very low at the horizon. Then a rotating aircraft reflects too much light onto the sky and makes its color changing with each rotation. So it seems the sourceforge bug is still present and the bug tracking system appears unmaintained. What is the current policy regarding http://sourceforge.net/projects/flightgear ?
