Blocking the sun
« on: January 12, 2010, 01:32:14 PM »
Just a question:

Why is it when you are on autoclimb towards the sun, and you bring up your clipboard, that you cant block the sun out? 

In real life you can right?  So why not here? :airplane:

Cockpit bars, not clipboard, just move your head position once your on stable autoclimb.

The sun we have in the game is modeled after our sun a few billion years from now.  It is running out of fuel and it is expanding.  It is impossible to hide from it  :D
