The stock sun and moon are something like four or five times the apparent size of the real ones. I still thought GWX's were too big, so I use a mod that makes them even smaller.

Oh, and have you loaded up SH3 Commander yet? GWX improves the game, and Commander improves the career experience.
Thanks Steve, so this baby has a couple of surprises in store eh...
So yeah, I have a feeling I'm simply suffering from the I'm just not used to it effect, when it comes to the sun. Hard to imagine you modded it even smaller though, the thing already looks like a golf ball from 300 yards to me. But I probably just need to get used to it.
And yes I'm using SH3 Commander, great mod. Gotta love seeing the name and cargo of the ships you sunk!
Merry X-Mas all!

Heh heh, I was about to read another 20 or so pages last night but your warm welcome and reply, Sailor Steve, made me drop it all and sail out of Kiel to go huntin'

Jimbuna, Kpt Lehmann, I appreciate your camraderie and look forward to seeing you around the officers club here in between patrols. And a quick hello to fellow Canuck IanC; I'm a Greek-Canadian living in Athens and it's always nice to come across fellow Canadians.

Merry Christmas everyone, hope you have a blast tonight!

Have you ever looked right at the sun? No, wait, don't do that. With the appropriate glare it looks a lot bigger in-game.

I may have misspoken as well. The mod I use only affects the moon, which in real life you can cover with your little finger at arm's length. Still, I love the pictures Jim sometimes posts, with the moon covering half the sky.

@ KL: Nice pack!

That last picture above is "Buck." At 1.5 years old, he is my youngest Golden Retreiver.

George "Bailey" is my older Golden Retriever at 8 years old. (I shouldn't have a favorite... but Bailey is exactly that.)

"Maus" is my black Labrador Retriever and she is also 8.

Was fun watching them play outside in the blizzard for a bit.

Nice lookin' pup there, Fireblade.

Anyhow guys, just thought I'd wish you all a Merry Christmas today as I'll be on duty tomorrow and all weekend.

(They've twice already tried to get me to come to the station today... Things there are busy as heck there ... and TOMORROW looks to have up to two feet of snow accumulation, with big drifts. Not gonna be fun at all.)

Anyone have a few snowmobiles we can borrow? We've had snow before, but THIS MUCH isn't what my city is prepared for!

The pack in the snow rocks and Buck's quite the character there I imagine Bailey keeps an eye on him.

Simba used to intimidate people during walks but that pic's a couple of years old. Now he's graying! hahahahaha so even old folks go aww and pet him.

If there's one thing I miss it's the snow. It's 20 C here and listening to old xmas songs here with the wife & kid by the fire and no snow outside sucks. So enjoy

Merry Christmas, kali ypiresia ("good service shift" roughly translated)

No worries Jimbuna. Just as soon as I logged in, I got up to get coffee... but wound up helping a neighbor dig her car out of the snow next door.

By the time that was done... I had forgotten that I was logged onto TS... so all is well.

Hang in there Jimbuna.

Will try to catch up with you after the weekend. (Unless I become an ice statue somewhere... Today's blizzard has the place looking like the Eastern Front! ... my old Camaro there is TOTALLY covered on one side!)
