It's strange everyone is seeing a flash to black.  I'm seeing a flash to

that altitude.  I was logging all sky,fog,etc.. colors, sun angle, etc..
on the flightgear side and during the flash there were no noticable
variances.  I then went to the simgear side commented out dome->repaint
and was not able to reproduce the error.  Interesting default sky colors
though :> .  I then uncommented dome->repaint and uncommented most of
the printfs in dome.cxx(which causes 30M log files for a  short flight)
and wasn't able to reproduce the flashes at all( ~2 hours of flying )
before bed.  Strange.  Will look into it further with gdb tonight.

Yep I see it also, except 10 times higher (12300 and 13300 feet).
Could you try setting the altitude of the unused (clear) cloud layers to -1000 and check again?

Ok, I *think* the problem is that acos(i) and -acos(i) are returning 'nan' when i=1 in Time/sunpos.cxx line ~345. I'm not sure why or if that's exactly it, but I think it's close. I'll keep working on it after I fly for while :> .
