The "new sun" is clearly very badly implemented. There's way too much glare during times of day when the sun light we see is greatly reduced like dawn and dusk. Way too much and the sky looks very poor and low resolution.

Look at this screenshot from the BOM update:



That screenshot is taken very close to sunset or sunrise. We all know how the sun looks during those times. A lot less bright and orange redish. The closer to the horizon the easier it is to look straight at it, without the blinding glare, because the light has to pass through a lot more air.
Another thing out of wack after the last patch is how dark it is at, or just after sunset or just before sunrise.
If you played the early morning mission in ATAG, you'll know what I'm talking about.
The mission starts just 10-15 minutes before sunset, and you can't see NOTHING outside or inside the cockpit. Just compare that with what you actually see in the real world ten minutes before sun rise.

I really hope they can bring that natural look back. It shouldn't be that hard, they have the original as a refference and that original lighting was calibrated by a professional photographer.
