Re: [Flightgear-devel] osgEarth integration // FGRUN

Michael,

That is surprising that you don't see an improvement.  Not sure that 
sets the same property.  Please confirm that "show command line" is 
enabled, and the start date command is set correctly.

Better yet, from Fgrun->advanced->Time;  Choose Start date sys: and 
paste 2013:06:15:2:00:00

Then, check command line string in fgrun.  It should be: 
--start-date-sys=2013:06:15:2:00:00

At runtime, set your local time to noon and confirm that sun is overhead.
