Probably because you're basically doing what the binoculars do - giving a lower FOV makes things bigger on the screen. I guess the real question is: why would they implement a moon reflection only at lower FOVs? I wonder what the highest FOV is where the moon reflection appears? |
Wrong.
The Fov zoom-in itself is irrelevant and not the cause of the moon appearing to reflect suddenly. What happens is that the game has an LOD system for reflections. When far away, a "low-res" system of reflections is used. When up close, the "full version" is used.
How the game decides between them is related to the fov which fools the camera into thinking the object is closer and the LODBias settings which are kept in some cfg file - sim.cfg I think, but I can't recall exactly right now.
