AM/PM Bug
Your AM and PM time feature in the Photo rendering dialog has a bug. This may have been pointed out before? For example it seems you have anything AM associated with the Sun symbol and anything PM with the Moon symbol. It doesn't correspond though with the actual lighting level based on actual time of day.

Re: AM/PM Bug
Please check your Geographic location in Compass modification dialog box. Your Longitude and Time zone probably don’t match.

3:00 AM and daylight? I live in Baltimore, Maryland USA in the EST time zone same as New York. Sunrise is 7:05 AM and sunset is 7:20 PM today. Do I have my Lat and Long location wrong or backwards?

I don't think that Baltimore is at 77.498° East longitude. A quick search would tell you that it's located at 39.29 North and 76.612 West.

What the heck! You're right. I remember searching months ago and somehow got the wrong coordinates. I just looked up what I used and it's Bharatpur India, LOL. 😳

Re: AM/PM Bug
Me too! Glad it was user error on my part. I'm sure it was correct back in January when I only had the basics of my home's first floor with no added interior lights and just using sunlight effects through the windows. Maybe I copy/pasted the entire level into a new file or inadvertently changed the compass by mistake. Or maybe I was just using the time zone and entered the wrong coordinates to begin with LOL which is probably what I did.
