That's right, I'm not sure that game generates different height of sun at noon for different seasons with white night / black day at polar regions...
But it is not important. It is not important where moon exactly was at 06:43 15.sep.1942. But if we'll have positions and height of sun and moon we can calculate correct phase and correct position of crescent of the moon to avoid stupid situations like it:
No mods, stock game only, 5.30 AM
- difference between bearings builds moon phase,
- difference between heights builds moon texture's rotation angle
