Now, all I need is the info about the current moon phase and if the moon is
above the horizon which is
Interesting, looks good. So effectively it glows...

Not really - unlike glowing stuff, it is actually obscured by cloud cover for
instance.

Just a quick note for now, because I've got a lecture coming up in about 30
minutes...
If you need any information about the moon's position and/or phase, just let me
know. It should be trivial to extract these values from the ephemeris code.

Hi Thorsten,
One more tidbit of info on phase of the moon. The phase of the moon is
proportional to the relative location of the sun and the moon in the sky;
more specifically the angle between them. For example, a full moon will be
rising precisely when the sun is setting -- in this case they
Hi Curt,
But now with Rembrandt maybe we can begin to cast the earth's shadow onto the
moon? What do you think Fred? :-)
It should be just a matter of rendering two spheres inside an FBO and using the
resulting shadow map when rendering the moon sphere to show moon eclipses, or
altering

I'm confused. From my reading of Durk's post, 3D clouds would appear to work
fine for a multi-display system out-of-the-box, but your comment

that there is an issue that requires fixing by restricting the random seed.

I'm running the latest FlightGear (64 bit v2.8.0.5, under Windows 7). I'm
driving it from an external instance of JSBSim, and it's working very well
except that no terrain is loaded. I can see what looks like a planet below
me that is covered in fog. Altitude ranges from about 40kft to 200kft, and
Another thing: the Moon descends through the fog and is still visible -
there doesn't seem to be any terrain that gets in the way and occludes it.
Even when I am right on top of where the runway should be, there is nothing
except blue water.
