I can't see the Sun! (major problem)

[Wingo]

I was taking Screenshots the other day and went looking for the sun to take a shot of it and my plane, and shock horror it wasn't there! I get all the other effects of it like glare but no sun or lens flare! It suddenly disappeared a couple of days ago. Could anyone help?

UPDATE: OK, i just tried re-installing and... i still can't see the sun!! I've changed ALL my settings, i've tried everything. I've tried the Sun mod as well... The texture will not display... Can anyone help??

check your display settings "HOmes"

[lemoncat]

are you sure the sun wasn't behind a cloud
if the old current bun has done a runner..don't panic just pop over to fsfreeware and pic the new sun mod up that's just been released

Maybe you accidentaly deleted the sun texture file? I'm not that good at scenery but I think it sounds like a reasonable theory...

There are probably better suns out there. As Lemoncat said - get a better one rather than looking for the default.

Scroll down for a nice sun there.

Oh no, sorry about that.  

That is pretty cool, so when you turn OFF the sun, is it still daylight via indirect lighting?

I guess that cool SUNsets are out of the question huh?

Well good luck getting your sun back!!

i have found the problem!! The Sun config file is f*ed. I'm fixing it up as we speak. I will post my results

RESULTS: Nope, didn't fix it. I'm going to try turninga few settings on and off. i shall post those results

RESULTS2: Nope, still doesn't work... i'm going to muck around a bit and get back if there is anything...

Try out the sunmod anyway Trust me

It makes a big difference, the default one is crappy...

? did you put the suneffect.cfg in the main folder and the bmp's in the texture folder?

[Marlin]

Woozy

So how much of a differance does it make?

Could you post a pic with the default and the sunmod?

Thanks in advance,
Marlin

OK... I tried the Sunmod and it didn't work... i'm running out of options. I'm going to re-organise my scenery and if that doesn't work i'm going to re-install....
