No sun in presets

Hello, Ive been recently playing around with the presets and ive noticed all except SkyMaxx Hosek-Wilkie Sky Model have no sun or moon, is this a bug or intentional?

It’s intentional, the Hosek-Wilkie model uses its own sun and moon and we upload a transparent file to hide the x-plane default....

If you change sky colors you will need to restart X-Plane....

Hey, I have selected a non Hosek Preset restarted it and theres still no visible sun, assuming you mean the should be one after restart?

Yes, after restarting the sun should come back. if it didn't it means something went wrong while moving the sun and moon textures around. You may need to re-run the X-Plane installer to repair the missing files in this case.

I ran repair and I made sure the sun + moon files were as expected and it replaces them like with the Wilkie Preset still.

Hm, things must be in a worse state than I thought. Try this:

- Set SkyMaxx Pro to "default" and quit X-Plane.

- Remove everything in the Resources/plugins/SilverLining/skyColors/Default Sky Colors folder (if anything)

- Run the X-Plane installer to repair the installation again.

That *should* get everything back to normal, unless there is some weird disk permission or disk corruption issue going on with your system.

Somehow it saved the blank images for moon and sun that are normally used in wilkie to the default skycolors folder, that fixed it
