=== Experimental directional moonlight patches === | |||
{{FGCquote | |||
|1= The changes here are for an initial milestone - exposing the position of the moon in the local aircraft frame and setting the amount of night-time illumination based on the phase of the moon. I have implemented some core infrastructure in Durk's ancient 1997-1998 ephemeris code (simgear), and in the flightgear time manager, ephemeris and solar system body (sun)solver code. I'll delve into full details below but, quickly, the changes are in the branches: https://sourceforge.net/u/edauvergne/flightgear/ci/directional_moonlight_v1/tree/ https://sourceforge.net/u/edauvergne/simgear/ci/directional_moonlight_v1/tree/ https://sourceforge.net/u/edauvergne/fgdata/ci/directional_moonlight_v1/tree/ More details can be found in the corresponding forum thread [1]. Initial results of the current code - specifically the automatic lighting of the ALS scene at night based on the moon's phase - are given in that thread [2], as well as below. Cheers, Edward [1] http://forum.flightgear.org/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=28201 (permanent archive: https://web.archive.org/web/http://forum.flightgear.org/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=28201 ).
