[Ragtag]

Nice, will try it :)
But where is it?

[charognard]

it s a wip mod i think ;)

nice you re on the good way guy ;)

[Bill Nichols]

The sun should be 1/2 degree as seen through the periscope. So should the moon, for that matter.

:know:

[W_clear]

The sunrise of real surprise, no one likes it? I do not understand:hmmm:

[Piggy]

I like it :up:, but it could be a bit smaller still?

[W_clear]

[rsvette12]

I liked the original one imo :yeah:

Rich

[Soviet_Warlord]

Yeah the first one looks best. Good job!

[Ailantd]

Hi,
¿Where can I download the real size sun or what file it is necesary to change to fix it?

[magic452]

Look real good W-Clear thanks
I like the second one.

Magic

[ironkross]

Yes. I only see the two downloads and nothing about a real sun mod. I'd like to try it out.

[tonschk]

Not Too small please , I think the size of the sun in the photo below is OK :up:

I like it, much more like what I see in actual sunsets (my pic from a recent cruise wife & I took):

But others like their sun to be big. Suggest you give both to keep everyone happy.

[coronas]

I agree.
I like second version.

[furby]

extra small for me...just perfect...just what i was after...any idea when?

and a big thanks.

[Jeevz]

Very nice. Another vote for the second one.

[Sailor Steve]

And another (small sun vote).

[Gammelpreusse]

small one please!

It adds a sense of openess and vastness that I am missing a bit in the stock game for some reasons. The close drawing distance of the clouds also play into this, too.

P.S. great work!

[Sgtmonkeynads]

Wow, never noticed how much the size of the sun can change the looks of everything, :DL...small please.

[U-Bones]

Beautiful. Both please :yeah:

[makman94]

Bill Nichols is right W_clear !

my opinion is to follow his suggestion

I accepted your proposal.Thanks:)

[tonschk]

With the photos below we finally can determine perfectly and without a doubt the size of the sun

since it changes with the time of the year from bigger to smaller (bigger in summer & smaller in winter) i think something right in the middle of the big and small one will be close enough to everyones opinion that they will all like it.

i would imagine there is no way to use different images based on the time of year it is.

+1.
Something like SH3cmndr could make the change depending on the season. Obviously we don't have that great tool here.

[Seeadler]

i would imagine there is no way to use different images based on the time of year it is.
The sun in SH5 is no longer an image (texture).
The sundisk is hardcoded, the size and color are constant values from the env. cfg passed into the constant registers of the sky shader.

Unlike to SH3/4 the sun_halo texture is no longer rendered over the sun disk, either on purpose or it is one of the many things that were not completed for the release. Therefore, one can see in any camera angle the sun disc and not the sun glow over it like in the predecessors.

Sorry, but you must be thinking about a different solar system. The sun's apparent size does not appreciably change with season, it's always 1/2 degree across.

:know:

[tonschk]

Actually this is the :rock: BEST :yeah: SUN :salute:

I know it is more than likely impossible, but how about having it like in real life where it looks big when on the horizon then seems to shrink when getting higher in the sky.
You know the whole curvature of the Earth thing, same with the moon.

Now that would be Awesome.

This is already implemented, open the EnvColor_xxx.cfg 's, and you can change the size of the sun in relation to the viewing angle

Another myth. See below:

[furby]

any update on this?

looking forward to it.

[Westbroek]

Wouldn't the size of the sun/moon be largely impacted by the zoom level of any camera taking a picture? These are all gorgeous sun photos, but being that the kaleun isn't 'taking pictures' of the sun/moon, the best idea is to simulate how the sun looks to the naked(drip covered?)eye... The small sun looks gorgeous IMO. :yeah:

[Decoman]

I am looking forward to this one. The smallest sun looked the best to me.

[ingsoc84]

I like it!

[ncorpuz34]

eta on release?

[furby]

quick bump

[Bill Nichols]

I second your bump

There is a lack of Sun_Halo , this problem sooner or later need to be fixed

[W_clear]

Sun_Halo to do very bad in the SH5,I can only adjust to this result.After the completion of environmental MOD, let me adjust Sun_Halo.

[Will-Rommel]

Is that the type of sun halo you look forward to Tonschk ?

[rsvette12]

That looks super sir :yeah: :up:

[EgoApocalypse]

Love the Small one..........

So that means the moon whould have to be the same size (In game of course).............. as a total eclipse fits the exact size of the sun????

Another magical mathmatical coincidence in this world:shucks:

Hello there , very nice screenshot :up:, thank you, can you tell me please where is possible to adjust the sun glare ?

Hi, i installed captnhelm lights mod but tweaked the following to my personnal liking : ...\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\data\Cfg\lights

Open with notepad then look for :

[HDR Exterior]
...
LightShaftsDensity=0.5 (my personnal taste, but adjust as pleased.)

Well, the sun has changed... but forgive me -- where is the mod?

[Warhead01]

Ja!..Where is the Downloadlink for this Mod?

[furby]

its not finished yet...looks to me as if we will be getting a mod that changes quite a few things and this is just part of it...hence the WIP in the title.

[Decoman]

In the image shown at the top of this page in #46, one can see a moon behind the sun. And it is apparant that the moon is highlighted wrong. Maybe this screenshot can help determining what is wrong with the moon perhaps?

It seems that there is no direct relation between the sun and the moon. Hm, or maybe there is. The moon highlighting should be flipped 180 degrees around shouldn't it?
