Again, perfectly bright out. This instance would have much more significant impact on gameplay with solar powered space probes, as this eclipse lasts well over an hour, enough that it should drain the battery on most solar powered items, leaving them inoperable until the eclipse is over.</p>
<p>I will later run a test to check if solar panels are in fact producing energy when this occurs. If this is the case, I will note so, and open a feature request to move solar panel lighting from the lighting engine, and onto a separate ray-cast based engine.</p> Kerbal Space Program - Bug #624: Lighting effects do not function properly during eclipses.https://bugs.kerbalspaceprogram.com/issues/624?journal_id=24082013-05-23T10:26:44ZAnonymous

<ul></ul><p>It seems that solar panels properly get blocked during eclipses, but the shadows do not properly cast over the landscape.</p>
<p>Maybe this could be fixed prioritizing shadows by the size of the object in question combined with distance and if they are blocking a light source from hitting another object.</p> Kerbal Space Program - Bug #624: Lighting effects do not function properly during eclipses.https://bugs.kerbalspaceprogram.com/issues/624?journal_id=468192016-07-17T09:24:01ZTriggerAu
