The moon is large but it's the result of using a common technique in photography. By using a long long lens with a far off subject you can bring in an object in the subjects background much closer as a result of optics.
In this example I suggest using the moon from hdmoon.zip since it provide a better quality image then the default version. The moon is not larger than the default version.
Example:
Airport: KCLM
Date: November 27, 2004
Time: 16:55
Weather: Clear
Climb straight out and as in this example climb to around 2300 feet. Here I went to 2327 feet. Now hit pause and go to
view options and
spot plane. You must be in "windows" mode.
I first set the distance to 2500 feet and then the alitutde to -90 feet. I then used the red toggle to roll the airplane into the view of the moon and gradually raised the zoom value to 25.00. You may have to play with each one until you have it into the view you want. The key however is a high distance and zoom value. Again, you have to be in windows mode for that red lined toggle to work in order to roll the airplane into the view.
Go back into full screen mode and there you have it.
Here are some "real world" examples:
