Moon is too BIG :)

Here is my realistic version of the moon. (size not changed yet)

BEFORE

AFTER (glow texture has now reduced opacity by 50% hence deeper blue effect)

Reduced size to 75%

It is also a consequence of refraction through atmosphere. When the moon is very low, the depth of the air layer is bigger, because the moon is viewed under a small angle. This will have a magnifying effect, thus giving you the big moon.

That's actually a myth. The atmosphere might make the moon look less sharp, but it's always the same size, no matter how high it is in the sky. The effect is entirely in our heads.

Well, you seem to be very convinced of your beliefs, so I won't try to argue with them.
It's just physics and laws for the behavior of light when passing through fluids.

VeloW from the 1st German TruckSims Forum once made a mod that makes the moon smaller. I'm using this mod and I'm quite happy with it. Maybe it helps some of you guys to feel better while driving at night.
