the Suns light on rockets

[mishmishthe1]

hello everyone

im new to the forums but was wondering about this

so i lanched a rocket and got it to about 3 or 4 times Kerben orbit and was noticing how the light from the sun was decreasing but the light on the rocket was not.

is this a glich in my game or is it something that is just how it is and will later be fixed with the addition of new planets.

Hi mishmishthe1, Kerbal space program is still 'alpha' software and many parts are placeholders and basic implementations just to get the game playable, we only recently got a cool terrain system for example.

Rest assured that eventually the sun and all the other weirdness will be fixed or replaced in time, though no one knows when yet as development is active and ongoing.

Hope this helps
