SH4 screenshot ugly dark areas left right of the sun

SH3 screenshot no problem , no dark areas

That SH3 picture you posted looks very much like the SH4 one, with the dark bands on the horizon, dipping in the centre where the sun is setting. It's just not as pronounced.

Thank you for the reply, I still think those screenshot with dark spots areas both sides of the sun are not very realistic , look at this video

Well, of those seven videos, one is obscured by cloud and in two the sun doesn't actually set, but of the remaining four, here are stills:









The effect does occur in RL, but I agree with you that it looks better in SH3 than in SH4. SH4's rendering of it is quite hard, it could do with the black band being thinner and the blending being smoother and from the stills above, the effect shouldn't be reflected in the water.
