Actual moon phases should follow this diagram (counterclockwise):
If you assist me, getting moon phases right shouldn't be too hard, either by flipping texture's single frames, or by moving them around  |
Hi gap,
I've used this site:
http://www.moonconnection.com/moon_p...calendar.phtml
to compare moon phases in SH5 and this is what I got:
North hemisphere, 2 Jan 1940:
Default shows third quarter, DynEnv shows first quarter.
According to the above site the phase should be
third quarter (left half appears lighted).
South hemisphere, same date, same long. about same time
Default shows first quarter, DynEnv shows third quarter.
According to the above site the phase should be
first quarter(right half appears lighted).
I'm no astronomer
just got interested in learning more about celestial navigation and noticed this.
Now I'm not sure but I also noticed that Sh5 seems to rotate the moon from when it rises until when it sets. So it will show different phases through the night, in which case the moon phases are messed up anyway!
But I still need to verify this, I might be wrong here.
I also didn't test on other dates or phases either. Like I said it's just a small detail, not many people will ever notice it.
