That looks really good.  Night ops could be interesting.  Can't Schrage Muzik wait to Schrage Muzik check Schrage Muzik it out. :D

My opinion.  A bit too big stars and planets.  The objects are too bright for an average sky brightness from sea level up.

Still doggone cool.

Stars look great.   :aok 

With FOV at 112 the brighter stars seem too big. When I zoom in they look better.

after the downloading off the auto download update.  went to offline practice, after loading im in tower, red planes on map move from south england shore to my airfield, i can hear planes. the mouse and game freezes, the second time through this process i hit the windows key and nothing happens besides a separate mouse icon shows up only with the working circle icon, yadda yadda, a total freeze.  task manager would not show through a now white aces high window.  bottom line, had to power off with the power button through two trys.  freezes after planes move on the map, i can hear planes through the lock.

 :salute

35 seconds before they go home for the weekend i report a freeze bug  :banana: dam im good.

The star patterns match really well, but the Earth doesn't appear to rotate at night and the star positions are stuck in Dallas, January, 3:00 AM no matter what time I select.

Also, as others have pointed out, the stars are too large and they look weird because they are ellipses.  Real stars are just single points of light (I'm not sure even the most powerful space telescopes can resolve the disk of any star except Sol) but planetarium programs generally make bright stars both brighter (intensity) and bigger in diameter (to simulate bloom on film or in a CCD).  They should stay circular though.

So... are you going to add a "Stellar Navigation" achievement?  ;)

Love the stars, but the larger ones seem too elliptical.  As far as the number of stars in the sky, I would think the environment in viewing them would have to be considered.   Looking at the stars around large cities providing ambient light, you tend to see the more predominate stars like the big dipper, etc..  In the desert or ocean away from civilization, you see so many more stars, some brighter and some fainter.  Flying at night, in a WWII bird above the clouds would be similar to being out in the desert or open ocean with very little ambient light from a large city.  The predominate stars could be slightly smaller and round in shape.

Judging from Bustr's ss, the elliptical shapes are caused by POV changed from default.  I would imagine as was reported a zoom view would cure that mostly (especially those directly ahead.

So chasing drones at 3am I happed to spy the big dipper. Lined up the appropriate stars and aimed my gunsight at the bright light they pointed to. Derned if my compass didn't show "N".
