UE 4.25 Sun and Sky Actor - too bright at night. How to control ambient light?

I think it’s the sun, but your guess is probably better than mine.
I understand what it’s suppose to look like, but the result is weird imo. Don’t you think?

Also, why is there no “moon disk” at night? That is, I can see the sun it self when looking at the sky during the day, but not the moon when looking at the sky during the night.

the latitude is 45.0, longitude 73.0, time zone -5.0, north offset 0.0, month 9 day 21.

I can’t share the project since it’s both private and really big, but I can try and replicate the same env on a new project.
It’s gonna take me some time though, so if you (or anyone else) have any more tips/information on what I can adjust to achieve better results, please do so.

Right, you asked about the disc from my moon in that other thread ^.^ For my moon, i just had raised the “Source Angle” to 4, to get this nice disc.

And i think, some devs mentioned, that you should not add another atmospheric fog to your scene, if you have sky atmosphere. The Sky Atmosphere is the newer version of the atmospheric fog and replaces it, they basically do the same job. So adding both to your scene will cause false results.

Exponential height fog, that you can add to your scene, but i think, that caused some trouble right now, and will be addressed in 4.26. If i remember correct, it was mentioned here:

Exploring the depths of the new Sky & Atmosphere system | Unreal Engine

At min 15:00, they talk about sky atmosphere and exponential height fog, and at 15:32 they say, that the atmospheric fog is NOT compatible with the new sky atmosphere but the exponential height fog is, and it will be used for getting more control over the fog.

Edit: ok, they also adress how to set up exponential height fog with sky atmosphere shortly after taht, so keep watching.
