That's why, the bold part. When the sun is low on the horizon, the light rays have a longer line to travel and pass through more of the atmosphere. This means more scattering due to the increased air mass they have to travel through, so they also lose more of their energy this way (lower energies are red colours, hence the sunset/sunrise effect) and that's why a rising/setting sun is not as blinding as a mid-day/noon sun.

Trust me, i might have flunked my physics studies but observational astronomy was the one field i was pretty good on because i liked it: i once read three different books on the sun alone and did a 40-page report, when the assignment asked for just 12 pages or so after taking some measurements with a telescope and filters

... hmmm, ... very interesting to read your statement about the sun, increased air mass etc., havent looked at it from this point of view yet, guess you are right, at least it sounds reasonable.
Thank you.

Next patch is only patch for coming months, so the more you wait the better game you have coming months.

I wish more people thought that way, or understood that. I think the current patch has indeed fixed a few sore things and it'll keep me happy and flying until the next patch is out. To put it shortly, if 1C was to shut down Il-2 cliffs of dover i'd still be playing this version for years to come It's not THAT bad anymore

Please please please look at the FM before release it's causing too many heated discussion and will just lead to a ban on spit mk2 and e4 until they are fixed!!!

I have a high mid range MSI GTX 560 TI and I like it very much. Just over $300. Plus it stays very cool.
