Real Solar System night more than day

[taiwanluthiers]

I don't know if this is something everyone notices but when I use Real Solar System, using the default launch site (Kennedy Space Center), it's always night. I mean like more than 18hrs a day! Florida day night cycle is nothing like this, even in the winter. But regardless of the day of the year (and using Principia which accounts for planetary tilts and stuff), the day night cycle in the northern hemisphere is more like Norway in the winter!

Is this a bug or a feature?

I did notice that the sun rises really late, I normally warp till 11am to get some light on the launch site. I just assumed it would get dark late and the time was just off, but I never actually checked.

For me sunrise is around 10:30am and doesn't get fully day til 2pm, and sunset is at like 8pm

 

Like I said almost like winter in Norway even in Florida or S America.

I think it uses UTC, so that might cause the late sunsets and sunrises.

Is there any way to change this? It's really annoying. I don't like night launches because night is REALLY dark, as in I can't see anything, pitch black, and it makes it hard for me to do anything safely.
