Hi Brandon,
Sorry about this. Indeed, the values were considered in the defaults, and they did not react to the property change.
The moonlight was refreshed because when the system is rebuilt upon property change, we update the Moon disc age, and reapply the moon Light intensity from the base intensity * disc age factor.
But the Sun did not have this treatment.
I just fixed this in main. I have a pending change list to be submitted soon (later this week). Thanks for reporting this!
For your information, I made several changes since 5.7, especially removing the Procedural sequence in the main Day Sequence Collection. This way, you can still use the DaySequence keyframing system, but all bodies’ movements are now evaluated in real time and optimized. It allows running the system for several days without the moon stepping back into the sky at midnight, and it allows changing most properties in real time (provided you call the RebuildAll function after the property changes).
If you have any other feedback, feel free to let me know. I use this Forum Thread to collect it.
Thanks!
