Bug Nice Sitrec Example with 3d buildings and clouds

[flarkey]

I investigated this sighting of a 'white light' over Solerno, Italy - turned out to be the ISS. But the Sitrec showed a great example of the new features of 3d buildings and clouds.... so I thought I'd share. Great work @Mick West !

That's great! Also, another good example of the ISS scintillating colors when it's lower in the sky- some people have insisted it's always a pure white light.

I wonder, though, if some of that is a phone camera artifact.

Just did this one ( a plane)...

It worked quite well too, but the Look view sky is wrong - it thinks it is 11.30pm local, but its Norway in July so the sky is light. @Mick West Is there a setting to change the ambient "sky brightness"?

Edit - managed to hack it with a cloud layer:

Yeah, there's something wrong there. Seems like the whole day/night rendering is broken in that sitch. I'll look into it. Flagging this as a bug for now.
