Subject: Set sun color below horizon
X-Git-Url: https://git.mxchange.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=543f1b790289b0173fdcbecec5c810e7a3e0d471;p=simgear.git

Set sun color below horizon

Thorsten Renk:
The following patch sets the sun color to alpha=0 when
the sun is below the local horizon, removing the oddity
that the sun is seen 'through' the terrain when the terrain
at large distance is rendered by the skydome.
