This mod will change the sun locations on each track, to be more believable, trying to present more accurate locations for the sun in dawn, midday, and dusk.
1.4 Update: Drift events and fictional tracks are now included. Sun locations on fictional side are 70 degrees to west(dusk) and 70 degrees to east(dawn) from each tracks default midday position. Real drifts have same settings as their full length counterparts.
Bloom is not entirely removed, for athmospheric reasons.....i may see things, and should be locked on a closet, but somehow i feel that a small fraction of bloom effect looks better than no bloom at all.
"The Mother" has got some special treatment too...you'll see when you are in there.
Hope you enjoy.
