I've done some of it. Not sure about the 'color' bit, I'm just working No worries, the color will follow once the azimuth is set correct. on taking out the xearth astronomy routines (which are largely inappropriate anyway) and replacing with straight boring math from the likes of Peter Duffett-Smith's book. I've just been overworked for the last month and haven't made any recent headway, that's all. Ok, no problem. I just wanted to know the status. Thanks.

Are you referring to the sun/moon's color here? on taking out the xearth astronomy routines (which are largely inappropriate anyway) and replacing with straight boring math from the likes of Peter Duffett-Smith's book.

I understood that Steve was looking into that and that's when I decided not to look into it any further.

[Flightgear-devel] Does FlightGear model eclipse?
There will be an eclipse tomorrow, and I was just wonder whether FlightGear has this modelled. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/4299074.stm Ampere ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@flightgear.org http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d

But as for the darkening of the sky and the like, I'm not sure. George You mean an eclipse of the Sun. I prefer seeing the eclipse of the moon ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@flightgear.org http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d
