I just encountered it on the Kamchatka terrain ... no matter what 'time of day' was selected, it was always night.

 

So, being the terrain guy I is, I took a look as to 'what would cause only nights, on a normal terrain'.

 

the latitude and longitude values were reversed!

 

remember:

lat will always be 0 thru 90, INCLUDING minus numbers for the southern hemisphere

 

long will always be 0 thru 180 (although I've never tested minus numbers for east/west of the Prime Meridian, theoreticly those should work as well.

 

moral of the story: open the name-of-terrain.ini, and check those lines!

That was me. I did find it after another, more careful, look through the ini.good.gif
