Hi, I always set my time to "noon".
Assuming that the "noon" means local noon where I am in FG world, I don't think the sun is correctly placed. First I found it too low for noon, then checked two things: 1. The little clock showing "Zulu" (this is UTC right?) time is appropriately offset from my local-in-FG noon time. 2. Then I turned my plane facing the Sun stright on, and checked my heading from properties. It was around 240 or so. But from a Northern hemisphere location should it not be 180 at noon? This placement is more like mid-late afternoon. Is FG world aware of the seasons as well? I think it is, and if that is the case the lower declination than I expect may be partly attributed to it. But I can find no explanation why the Sun would not be close to heading 180 at noon. Thanks for listening.
