With this update the illusion is even more complete with a realistic simulation of outdoor lighting on your rocket! We mathematically modeled the particles in the atmosphere and calculated the colors for the sun and sky throughout the day, then we put that data into Backyard Apollo to give you beautiful twilight views! We’ve also added a new indoor lighting mode and there's a switch to choose which lighting you prefer so your rocket always looks stunningly realistic!
