Atmosphere

Data/Time

Control position of the sun by changing the date and time. By default the time zone follows the camera, but it can be set to a fixed value manually. Different times can be added to [Scenarios].

Water

Enable a global water surface at a certain altitude with adjustable wave length and wave height. Water can be animated with the controls in the toolbar, the animation speed can be changed.
